Tangier mayor held over election probe
A local official in Tangier, who is also the city’s mayor, Munir Limary, was detained simultaneously with the opening of a judicial investigation into suspected electoral violations related to a voting station in the city. He was arrested at Ibn Batouta Airport in Tangier while returning from Spain. These measures come as part of the ongoing investigations by Moroccan authorities following the appearance of footage showing ballot papers in favor of the Authenticity and Modernity Party outside a polling station. The public prosecutor has opened an investigation into the matter. The Ministry of Interior has sent a central inspection committee to Tangier to monitor the electoral process and investigate the violations. Meanwhile, it is anticipated that King Mohammed VI will appoint the Authenticity and Modernity Party’s leader as the next Prime Minister, following the party’s lead in the election results, despite a voter turnout that did not exceed 39%, the lowest in twenty years.
