Principlists Grand Coalition (Persian: ائتلاف بزرگ اصول‌گرایان) is a principlist coalition and electoral list for the Iranian legislative election, 2016.[1]

Member groups

The alliance is mainly made up by the members of the 'traditional' parties Combatant Clergy Association and Islamic Coalition Party, the 'Transformationalist' Society of Devotees and Pathseekers of the Islamic Revolution and the radical Front of Islamic Revolution Stability.

Some principlists, most notably Ali Larijani and Ali Akbar Velayati, have declined to contribute to the coalition, since they believe the Front of Islamic Revolution Stability has too much weight in the alliance.[1]
