30 women lead electoral race as Parti de l'Argan tops nominations
The candidate registration lists for the upcoming legislative elections scheduled for September 23, 2026, show the participation of 30 women at the head of electoral lists in 27 districts, reflecting an increasing presence of women in political competition outside the quota system. The Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) leads the list of parties with the most female candidates, having nominated seven women to lead its lists, including Zineb Simou, Bouchra Al-Wardi, and Fatima Zahra Al-Mansouri, with women from ministries and parliament occupying leadership positions. The Socialist Progress Party ranks second with seven female candidates, followed by other parties such as the National Rally of Independents, the Socialist Union, and the Justice and Development Party, with varying numbers of female candidates. These nominations focus on prominent political figures such as ministers and parliament members and serve as a test for women’s representation in the upcoming parliament, with the percentage of female participation differing among parties—some place women in key roles, while others participate with only a limited number.
