Alliance of Builders of Islamic Iran
- Alliance of Builders of Islamic Iran
The Alliance of Builders of Islamic Iran (ائتلاف آبادگران ایران اسلامی; "E'telāf-e Ābādgarān-e Īrān-e Eslāmī"), usually shortened to Abadgaran (آبادگران), is an alliance of some conservative Iranian political parties and organizations. The alliance, mostly active in Tehran, won almost all of Tehran's seats in the Iranian Majlis election of 2004 and the Iranian City and Village Councils election of 2003. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, former mayor of Tehran (who is chosen by Tehran's City Council) and now President of Iran, is considered one of the main figures in the alliance.
According to the "Columbia World Dictionary of Islamism", the Abadgaran "seems to have been formed in 2003 and is made up broadly of figures under the age of fifty, who are non-clerics". ["Columbia World Dictionary of Islamism", Roy, Olivier and Antoine Sfeir editors, Columbia University Press, 2007, p.147]
