Abstract

Today, development, and during it, political development is one of the most important topics related to politics and statecraft. In relation to political development, various components are mentioned, one of which is political participation with the help of parties. For this purpose, both positive components and recognition of obstacles are followed. Therefore, this research has raised its main question in relation to the pathology of the position of partisanship in the political system of Velayat al-Faqih. The hypothesis of the article is that the political system based on Velayat al-Faqih not only has no conflict with Tehiz, but they can have complementary relations with each other. The findings of the research have shown that the political system based on velayat al-faqih, which emerged from the heart of the Islamic Revolution, provided the possibility of real political participation for the first time, which itself became the basis for the formation of political parties. However, due to reasons such as the election law, the position of the party has not found its true position in this political system as it should and perhaps so far, and this issue is not necessarily related to the institution of religious authority. The approach of descriptive-analytical research and the method of data collection was documentary.
