Moroccan king appoints new Prime Minister
The appointment of King Mohammed VI of Morocco of Fatima Zahra Mint Sherif to the position of Prime Minister elicited a historic reaction, as she became the first woman to hold this post in Morocco. This move followed the victory of the Authenticity and Modernity Party in the legislative elections held in September, where it secured 97 out of 395 seats, leading the results. Forming the new government requires building a coalition capable of securing a parliamentary majority, with expectations of consultations to determine the composition of the cabinet and its ministers. The government faces significant economic and social challenges, including addressing unemployment, improving services, and preparing for the 2030 World Cup, alongside dealing with the low voter turnout, which was approximately 38%. Mint Sherif's appointment comes within the context of a political shift pushing Morocco's party landscape and women's political participation into a new phase.
