This article reports these activities and their outcom.
Method and Research Design: Data are extracted from archival documents and library resources.
Findings and Conclusions: Local Khans and their allies pursued different goals from those the the Tudeh Party branch in Hamadan. The clerics of Hamadan, including Ayatollah Bani Sadr and the supporters of the National Front turned to be in sharp disagreement with each other. Even the owners of the newspapers didn’t raise one voice. Incapability of the electoral supervisory commity of the city led to the opint that elections were not held in Hamedan. As the result, the city was unable to have any representative in the Parliament.
