Office for the Cooperation of the People with the President (Persian: دفتر هماهنگی همکاریهای مردم با رئیسجمهور) was a political organization in Iran that was closely associated to then-President Abolhassan Banisadr.[4]
Since Banisadr was skeptical of partisan activities in Iran, he did not like the idea of creating a party.[1] However, despite using the name "office", the organization "was created out of necessity to fulfill some, if not all, of the functions of a political party".[2] It had branches all over the country.[4]
