Morocco voters select World Cup leaders

The article discusses the parliamentary elections held in Morocco on September 23, 2026, where voting stations were opened for over 15.8 million eligible voters out of approximately 27 million Moroccans of voting age. A total of 7,288 candidates competed for 395 seats, with preliminary results expected to be announced the following day. The elections aim to determine the composition of the new government, which will oversee preparations for hosting the 2030 World Cup finals. Voter turnout, especially among young people, serves as a key indicator of the level of national trust and engagement. The elections were conducted in the context of political parties’ promises to build a strong economy and improve citizens’ living conditions, amid potential disagreements and alliances. Notably, the current Prime Minister, Aziz Akhannouch, did not run for re-election. The campaign focused on issues such as employment, purchasing power, health, education, and housing, continuing a democratic trajectory that includes 12 elections since independence.
