Al-Mansouri First Arab Female Prime Minister
Fatima Zahra Al-Mansouri is the first woman in the Arab world to directly assume the prime ministership after the victory of the Authenticity and Modernity Party in the Moroccan parliamentary elections held on September 23, 2026. Following the party's lead in securing 97 seats out of 395 in the parliament, she was appointed by King Mohammed VI to head the government. This unprecedented event reflects a historic development in Moroccan and Arab politics. Her appointment comes after a political career spanning over two decades, beginning with her involvement in politics in 2008. She has held important positions such as the mayor of Marrakech, member of parliament, and leader of her party before becoming head of government. This achievement distinguishes her from previous women figures such as Naglaa Bouden in Tunisia, who was non-partisan before her appointment. It confirms that Al-Mansouri is the first woman to reach the top of the government based on electoral results and a leadership background within a political party, opening a new chapter for women's participation in Arab executive authority.
