Lekjaa explained that his decision stems from a desire to contribute to the country's political development and to support the party's reformist agenda.
In his remarks, Lekjaa highlighted the PAM's role in promoting democratic practices and good governance. He emphasized that his membership is not a break with his past but a continuation of his commitment to public service, aligning with the party's vision for Morocco's future.
The announcement has drawn reactions from political observers, noting that Lekjaa is a prominent figure in the government, known for his management of the national budget and his involvement in major economic reforms. His move to the PAM is seen as a significant political shift, potentially influencing the party's standing ahead of future elections.
Lekjaa's decision comes amid ongoing political realignments in Morocco, with several officials changing affiliations. The PAM, led by Fatima-Zahra Mansouri, has been positioning itself as a key player in the country's political landscape.
