Left confronts unity challenge
The article focused on the results of the 2026 parliamentary elections in Morocco and their impact on the leftist political landscape. The results showed a continued decline in the presence of major leftist parties, such as the Socialist Union of Popular Forces, which secured 26 seats—down eight seats from 2021—and the Party of Progress and Socialism, which dropped to 19 seats. Conversely, the Left Alliance, comprising the Unified Socialist Party and the Democratic Left Federation, increased its seats to 8. Despite these changes, leftist parties still account for approximately 13.4% of the Parliament's total 395 seats. Meanwhile, the Justice and Development Party experienced a significant jump from 13 to 54 seats, and the Independence Party secured 65 seats, reflecting clear shifts in the legislative balance of power. Leftist components face a major challenge due to organizational fragmentation, but there is a trend toward unity and coordination to strengthen their political presence, with some parties announcing the potential formation of a joint parliamentary team to support collaborative legislative work in the future.
