MPs hold a voting session to approve or reject the credentials of Tajgardoon, representative of Gachsaran in the Parliament.

As the investigation commission of the Parliament announced, 102 MPs voted in favor of the approval of his credentials, 128 MPS voted against it, while 21 ones abstained to vote.

The disqualified Tajgardoon, who was the Chairman of Commission the planning and budget and calculations in the Parliament, left the session afterward.
