The Guardians Council (GC) has approved qualifications of only 3 of the members of parliament whose qualifications had been rejected by the supervisory boards in the previous stage, IRNA reported from Tehran.

According to the Saturday's issue of Persian daily 'Sharq', the three MPs are Abolfazal Shakouri from Zanjan, Nasser Khaleqi from Isfahan and Abdolzahra Alemi from Dasht-e Azadegan constituencies.

The disqualification of other outstanding political figures who are not Majlis deputies is still valid as before, the daily added.

Over 80 members of the present parliament in Iran were announced as disqualified by the GC.
