Morocco: Center-Right PAM Leads in Parliamentary Election
The moderate Islamist Justice and Development Party rebounded to 54 seats as the governing Independents lost ground in a fragmented 395-seat parliament.
- On Thursday, Morocco's Interior Ministry announced provisional results showing the Authenticity and Modernity Party won the largest number of seats in Wednesday's parliamentary election held in CASABLANCA.
- Wednesday's polls saw voter turnout of just 38 per cent, marking the lowest participation level recorded in nearly two decades across Morocco.
- Securing 97 of the 395 seats in the House of Representatives, PAM led results, followed by the Independents with 66 and the Istiqlal Party with 65.
- The Justice and Development Party surged to 54 seats from 13 in 2021, while the governing National Rally of Independents suffered major losses in the election.
- While nearly 16 million Moroccans were registered to vote, only about 4 per cent of those aged between 18 and 24 cast ballots, reflecting significant youth disengagement.
