Quintuple Coalition
# Quintuple Coalition

The Quintuple Coalition refers to the electoral alliance of five revolutionary groups contesting in the 1979 Iranian Constitutional Convention election. The groups in coalition had Islamic and radical orientations. After the elections, the coalition sent an open letter to Ruhollah Khomeini and complained about "fraud".

## Parties in coalition

The five groups were:

* Revolutionary Movement of Muslim People of Iran (JAMA), led by Kazem Sami
* People's Mujahedin Organization (MEK), led by Massoud Rajavi
* Movement of Militant Muslims (MMM), led by Habibollah Peyman
* The Movement for Liberty, led by Asghar Sayyed Javadi – it was a newly-established and relatively small group that belonged to the center
* Islamic Organization of Council (SASH), led by Habibollah Ashouri – The group was only briefly active in 1979
