With the majority of election results counted, officials from President Hassan Rouhani's administration are looking forward to working with a parliament that — while it continues to include conservatives — has excluded many of the more combative hard-liners.
Perhaps no one is more relieved by the election results than Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance Ali Tayebnia. Tayebnia was summoned three times by this parliament and received an official warning each time. According to a report by Iranian Students' News Agency, Tayebnia was on the threshold of being Rouhani’s second minister to be impeached. However, all three parliamentarians who summoned Tayebnia failed to win a seat in the future parliament.
