Followers of Wilayat (Persian: رهروان ولایت; Rahrovan Velayat) was the majority conservative parliamentary group active during the 9th legislature of the Islamic Republic of Iran (2012–2016). Led by Ali Larijani, the fraction intended to become an official political party in 2015 to compete in the 2016 legislative election, however it did not happen[4] and its key members allied with the Pervasive Coalition of Reformists.[5]
