Benkirane apologizes to Al-Othmani over unintended insult
Abdel El Khalek Benkirane, Secretary-General of the Justice and Development Party, issued a formal apology to his predecessor in the position of Prime Minister and party leader, Saad Eddine El Othmani, following his call to "stay at home" and his failure to go out into the electoral field during a festival in Nvana. This came after media outlets circulated an edited video clip of his speech, which sparked controversy and dissatisfaction within the party. Benkirane clarified that the call was unintentional and that he was unaware of El Othmani’s participation in the election campaign, justifying this by political reasons aimed at avoiding the targeting of the party by its opponents. He also emphasized that his relationship with El Othmani is long-standing and strong, and that differences in viewpoints have not affected mutual respect between them. He reaffirmed his appreciation for the longstanding partnership between the party’s leaders and the bond that unites them. This clarification comes in the context of a fierce political confrontation and aims to preserve the party’s internal unity and limit the political exploitation of the incident.
