Morocco votes for a new parliament after Gen Z protests and migration surge to Ceuta
- Nearly 16 million registered voters are casting ballots Wednesday for Morocco's 395-seat House of Representatives, choosing from 7,288 candidates representing 27 political parties.
- Mounting frustration among young Moroccans drives this vote, as youth unemployment reached 37% in 2025 and 12.7% live in relative poverty, fueling demands for better jobs, schools, and housing.
- Parties offer competing platforms: the RNI promised 1 million jobs and a guaranteed monthly minimum wage of 5,000 dirham , while the PAM pledged 100,000 housing solutions for young people.
- The Democratic Path has urged a boycott, claiming the election lacks fairness, while the incoming government will oversee billions in investment as Morocco prepares to co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
- Tensions remain high following deadly youth-led protests nearly a year ago and July's mass border crossing into Ceuta, leaving some young Moroccans like Ayoub Belaidi skeptical that political participation improves daily life.
