Morocco elects new parliament parties compete
The article discusses the parliamentary elections in Morocco, which began with the aim of choosing 395 deputies from more than seven thousand candidates, including around 16 million voters out of a total of 36 million Moroccans. The elections focus on issues such as poverty, unemployment, and social inequality, amid a decline in trust toward political parties, especially after rising slogans calling for reforms in the economy and social services. It is expected that King Mohammed VI will appoint the prime minister from the prevailing party, although the final decision is limited in powers, with strategic authority remaining with the king. The nationwide voter turnout was recorded at 4.23% by 10 am, with expectations of political shifts as the election campaigns continue, amidst differences among major parties such as the National Rally for Independents, Authenticity and Modernity, and Istiqlal, with the Justice and Development Party emerging as a potential surprise candidate.
