Nedaye Iranian Party (Persian: حزب ندای ایرانیان, lit. 'Voice of Iranians', Hezb-e Nuday-e 'Iranian)[3] —NEDA is the official acronym standing for 'Second Generation of Reforms'[4] (Persian: نسل دوم اصلاحات, romanized: Nasl-e Dovom-e Eslahat)— is a reformist political party in Iran with social democratic leanings[5] that held its first congress in 2015.[6]
It was the first party that emerged after the reformist crackdown during 2009 Iranian presidential election protests, followed by the Union of Islamic Iran People Party.[3] The majority of members belong to the youth wing of the banned Islamic Iran Participation Front[7] and are in their early 30s.[3]
The party was in coalition with the Pervasive Coalition of Reformists during the 2016 Iranian legislative election.[8]
