Executives of Construction Party (Kargozaran)
The Executives of Construction Party (Hezb-e Kaargozaaraan-e Saazandegi) was founded by ministers from the cabinet of one-time President Hashemi Rafsanjani. As of 2004 Gholamhoseyn Karbaschi was Secretary-general of the party. It was founded as a pragmatist party in part by Rafsanjani's brother Mohammad Hashemi-Bahremani.
Very much a moderate pro-Rafsanjani political party, its alliance with reformists in 1999 under the 2nd Khordad Front, led to observers suggesting that it was reformist as well. The Executives are a party primarily concerned with economic policy and globalization, stances Rafsanjani used as the basis for his unsuccessful campaign for President in 2005. The party also supported industrial development, and working conditions. The party membership has many of Iran's technocrats, and had supported other moderates and reformists in prior elections, including that of Mohammad Khatami.
