Notes
- ^ 18 MPs were exclusively endrosed by Resistance Front, other 52 were in other electoral lists as well, like United Front of Conservatives.[3]
- ^ The number 61, refers to the year 61 AH of the Islamic calendar (680 AD); and the year 1361 in the Iranian calendar (1982), when the Battle of Karbala and Liberation of Khorramshahr took place respectively. Both events serve as an inspiration on the groups' ideology.[4]
