NEDA Party explained
Nedaye Iranian Party (Persian: حزب ندای ایرانیان|lit=Voice of Iranians, Hezb-e Nuday-e 'Iranian) - NEDA is the official acronym standing for 'Second Generation of Reforms'[1] (Persian: نسل دوم اصلاحات|Nasl-e Dovom-e Eslahat) - is a reformist political party in Iran with social democratic leanings that held its first congress in 2015.
It was the first party that emerged after the reformist crackdown during 2009 Iranian presidential election protests, followed by the Union of Islamic Iran People Party. The majority of members belong to the youth wing of the banned Islamic Iran Participation Front[2] and are in their early 30s.
The party was in coalition with the Pervasive Coalition of Reformists during the 2016 Iranian legislative election.[3]
