Fouzi Lekjaa, Morocco's Minister Delegate for the Budget, has agreed in principle to run in the 2026 legislative elections under the banner of the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), according to a report by Le Desk on June 9, 2026.
The news outlet, citing sources close to the matter, indicated that Lekjaa's candidacy is part of a broader political strategy ahead of the 2026 elections. The minister, known for his role in managing Morocco's public finances, has not yet made a public statement confirming the move.
PAM, a key political force in Morocco, has been positioning itself for the upcoming elections. Lekjaa's potential candidacy could strengthen the party's appeal, given his technocratic profile and visibility in economic reforms.
As of June 10, 2026, no official confirmation has been issued by Lekjaa or PAM. The report remains unverified by other major Moroccan media outlets.
