Jad Rahme on 02 Mar 12There are 290 seats in the Iranian Majlis, with members serving four-year terms. The chamber is officially led by a speaker. There are no political parties as such; instead, blocs or factions can emerge. The Parliament is dominated by "conservatives" and "principlists", a term usually applied to the political wave since the election of President Ahmadinejad in 2005.
