Pervasive Coalition of Reformists: The Second Step (Persian: ائتلاف فراگير اصلاح‌طلبان: گام دوم), named The List of Hope (Persian: لیست امید) by Mohammad Khatami,[1] was the sole coalition and electoral list affiliated with the Iranian reform movement for the 2016 legislative election. The group also endorsed candidates for the 2016 Assembly of Experts election. Reformists backed a list of 236 candidates for the Parliament and 77 for the Assembly of Experts, even though many of them are not reformists but moderate-leaning figures.[2]
