Friday April 29 is election day again. Which will be an important indicator of President Hassan Rouhani. He can see how much support he enjoys in his reformist course. The establishment of conservative Shiite clerics do not want to continue on that course. They in February estimated that more than 110 seats won.

Candidates of the political center or reformists have estimated that more than ninety. There are approximately seventy to win seats. A boost for Rohani has already won all thirty seats in Tehran are allies in February. The elections in Iran are relatively obscure. The country has no party politics and it is very difficult for reformers to register as a candidate.
