Authenticity and Modernity Party Leads Moroccan Poll
The results of the Moroccan parliamentary elections showed the Justice and Development Party winning the largest number of seats, with 97 out of 395. It surpassed the National Rally of Independents, which secured 66 seats, and the Istiqlal Party with 65 seats. The outcome of the elections will shape the upcoming coalition government, which will oversee a $20 billion plan to host the 2030 World Cup, as well as initiatives to reduce social disparities and address youth unrest. It is expected that King Mohammed VI will appoint the party leader, Fatima-Zahra Mariam, as the first woman to hold the position of Prime Minister in the Arab region, if he chooses to do so. However, ongoing economic and political challenges persist, compounded by a low voter turnout of 38.02%.
