Its members had been contested in the elections while included in the electoral list of the Combatant Clergy Association (CCA).[3] Formed by the "traditionalist right",[1] CCA members shaped core of the fraction.[2] Islamic Coalition Party and Islamic Society of Engineers were other prominent parties in the group.[4]
