Morocco's New Parliament and Political Landscape

More than seven thousand candidates are competing in Morocco's parliamentary elections for the votes of approximately 16 million voters out of a total population of 36 million Moroccans, aiming to secure 395 seats in Parliament. The elections are held under the 2011 Constitution, which grants Parliament and the government broad powers, but the King remains the ultimate decision-maker on strategic policies. The main issues of the campaign included purchasing power, social inequalities, and youth unemployment, reflecting a lack of confidence in political parties, as evidenced by low registration rates among young people on the electoral rolls. Two main parties are competing: the National Rally of Independents and the Authenticity and Modernity Party, both supported by close ties to the palace, and facing criticism including allegations of conflict of interest. The Justice and Development Party is betting on reversing expectations after its defeat in 2021, focusing on family and social relations issues. Meanwhile, voter turnout has been increasing, and authorities are keen to ensure the integrity of the voting process.
