As of Saturday evening, March 8, results from elections in at least 65 out of 207 electoral districts in the country have been announced. Some reports indicate that five women have definitively entered the Tenth Parliament, and four other women will participate in the second round of elections in four electoral districts. According to Mehr news agency, Zahra Salari from the Kerman electoral district, Seyyedeh Hamideh Zareabadi from the Qazvin electoral district, Hajar Chenarani from the Nishapur electoral district, Sekineh Almasi from the Kangan electoral district, and Zahra Saidi from the Mobarakeh electoral district have succeeded in entering the Tenth Parliament. Meanwhile, reports indicate that Sara Fallahi from the Ilam electoral district, Masoumeh Aghapour from the Shabestar electoral district, Shahla Mirgholbiat from the Saveh electoral district, and Khadijeh Rabiei from the Boroujen electoral district will participate in the second round of the Tenth Parliament elections. The highest number of women in Parliament was in the Fifth Parliament, which had 14 women. Given that in some electoral districts where results have not yet been announced, women are present, it is likely that the number of women in the Tenth Parliament will increase. In Tehran, reformists have eight women and conservatives have five women on their lists for the Tenth Parliament. The results of the parliamentary elections in the Tehran electoral district have not yet been announced. However, according to the latest results announced for one-third of the Tenth Parliament seats, independents have secured 26 seats. The Hope list, supported by reformists, has gained 24 seats, and among the specific candidates of conservatives, 21 have entered Parliament. The Voice of the Nation list, which overlaps with reformists in Tehran, has sent seven of its specific candidates to Parliament. These results pertain to the announcement of results for the competition over 99 parliamentary seats, with the fate of 17 seats to be determined in the second round. In this context, the results of the Assembly of Experts elections; Hashemi first, Mesbah Yazdi out of the list.
