The People's Experts (Persian: خبرگان مردم) was an electoral list for the Iranian Assembly of Experts election, 2016, led by Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.
This is probably the first time in the history of the Islamic Republic of Iran that a "public figure" publishes an electoral list confronting a list published by an "organization"—Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani against the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom. The list shares 8 out of 16 candidates with the Combatant Clergy Association's list (including Rafsanjani and Ali Movahedi-Kermani) in the most important constituency, Tehran Province. However, Rafsanjani has been removed from the Combatant Clergy Association's list which has three of his harsh critics as the list leaders: Mohammad Yazdi, Mohammad-Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi and Ahmad Jannati. According to some analysis, this sends the signal that Rafsanjani is still linked to the Combatant Clergy Association's "moderate faction", and his People's Experts list is a "disapproval voting" to unfavorable Yazdi, Mesbah and Jannati.
