Fouzi Lekjaâ Influences Moroccan Politics

The Italian newspaper "Formiche" highlights the political rise of Fawzi Laqqad, president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation and the delegated minister in charge of the budget. Over just a few weeks, he has become a central figure in the Moroccan political scene after joining the Authenticity and Modernity Party in July 2026. The report confirms that Laqqad, despite not running directly in the elections, fills the halls, attracts crowds, receives support from various parties, and is considered one of the leading potential candidates for the prime ministership, especially after making prominent appearances in the media and on social platforms. The newspaper also notes that his political prospects have elevated due to his electoral activities and maneuvers, with particular emphasis on his financial program, which authorities estimate to be around 350 billion dirhams additional during his term (2027-2031), approximately 70 billion dirhams annually. The report clarifies that his media presence and continuous appearances on social media have increased his popularity, making him a hot topic in political circles, with hints that Laqqad's name is increasingly being mentioned as a potential contender for the prime ministership, despite his denials. At the same time, Morocco's legislative elections, held on September 23, saw broad participation and a political escalation among the major parties, with ongoing competition over regions and parliamentary representation. Meanwhile, Laqqad is focusing on mobilizing support and expanding his political influence.
