tehran - The reformers around President Hassan Rouhani Friday also won the second round of the parliamentary elections in Iran. The reported several media in the country Saturday.

The coalition of reformers and moderate conservatives who calls himself the 'Table of Hope', received 60 percent of the vote. The conservative hardliners won 30 percent of the vote and 10 percent went to independent candidates.

Thus the pro-Rohani coalition, the success of the first round of elections continued in February. In the second round were to distribute remaining 68 seats of the total 290 seats in parliament.

However, it seems unlikely that the reformers get an absolute majority in parliament. At the first round in February made the establishment of conservative clerics 110 seats inside. Candidates of the political center and reformists accounted for more than 90 seats. A significant gain for Rohani's allies, who thus put an end to the conservative dominance in parliament.

A boost for Rohani was that his supporters in Tehran had already won all thirty seats in the first round of elections. The official results will be announced Saturday by the Iranian Ministry of the Interior.
