King appoints Fatima Zahra Al-Mansouri as head of government

King Mohammed VI appointed Fatima Zahra Mansouri, Coordinator of the Collective Leadership of the Authenticity and Modernity Party, as the new Prime Minister of Morocco, following her party's victory in the recent parliamentary elections with 97 seats out of 395. This marks the first time a woman has assumed the position of Prime Minister since Morocco's independence, in accordance with Article 47 of the Moroccan Constitution, which stipulates that the King appoints the head of government from the winning party. Mansouri will undertake the task of forming the government through consultations with political parties, aiming to build a coalition before presenting the names to the King for appointment. Her previous roles included Mayor of Marrakech and Minister of Territorial Development. Her extensive experience in political and executive affairs makes her a prominent figure in the Moroccan political landscape.
