Local Elections 2026: Bride Shares Insights
The head of the Independent National Election Authority, Saad Arabous, affirmed that claims by some parties of a lack of candidacy enthusiasm for the 2026 elections are untrue. The figures show a notable increase in the number of candidates compared to the 2021 elections. The number of candidates for municipal council elections reached 141,388, representing an increase of 26,158 candidates or 22.7%. For the provincial council elections, the total was 21,476 compared to 18,910 in 2021, an increase of 2,566 candidates or 13.56%. The percentage of candidates with university-level education also rose to 48.48%, and youth aged 40 and under participated at a rate of 54.02%. Less than 1% of candidacy files were rejected due to not meeting the requirements, with the Authority committed to integrity and transparency in processing applications. These figures confirm continued interest in candidacy and disprove claims of voter apathy.
