Moroccan elections reshape parliament party landscape
The results of the Moroccan legislative elections held yesterday showed the rise of the "Authenticity and Modernity" Party to the top position for the first time since its founding, winning 97 seats. This places it ahead of the "Justice and Development" Party, which made a strong comeback to the parliamentary scene after dropping to 54 seats in 2021—a significant increase of 41 seats. The "National Rally of Independents" finished in second place with 66 seats, after leading in 2021 with 102 seats. Meanwhile, the "Istiqlal" Party declined to 65 seats. Despite the shifts among the major parties, voter turnout remained low at 38.02%, and the percentage of votes cast decreased compared to the 2021 elections, reflecting a decline in electoral engagement. The formation of the government still depends on coalitions, which may include the major parties, with the potential for the balance of power to change—especially given the strong resurgence of the "Justice and Development" Party and the "Authenticity and Modernity" Party's re-emergence as a key player.
