Morocco Elections: Chakib in Fes and Popular Movement Advances
Hamideh Shabbat's name has returned powerfully to the political scene in Fez ahead of the upcoming Moroccan parliamentary elections scheduled for September 23. His joining the Popular Movement Party and his recruitment by the party, supported by local figures such as his daughter Reem Shabbat and Khalid Al-Ajli, reflect an effort by the party to strengthen its electoral presence in the city, which is considered one of Morocco's most important electoral strongholds. Shabbat is regarded as a figure of historical influence, having served as Secretary-General of the Istiqlal Party, mayor of Fez, and maintaining extensive relationships that place him in a position to potentially realign the balance of power within the city. However, the margin for success remains linked to the party's ability to translate these prominent names into actual votes, especially given the changing political landscape and his declining popularity compared to the past. The success of the Popular Movement in attracting Shabbat and other prominent figures may offer the party an opportunity to boost its presence, but opponents expect the competition to remain open due to shifting rules of political contestation in the city.
