As Morocco prepares for its 2026 legislative elections, a new political force is emerging: Generation Z212, representing young Moroccans born after 2000. These candidates are leveraging social media to mobilize voters and push for reforms in digital economy, climate action, and education.
According to verified reports, several GenZ212 candidates have registered for the elections, aiming to challenge traditional parties. Their platform includes expanding internet access, promoting renewable energy, and reducing youth unemployment, which stands at over 20% in Morocco.
Political analysts note that while GenZ212 lacks established party structures, their grassroots digital campaigns could influence outcomes in urban districts. However, voter turnout among youth remains a concern, with only 30% of under-30s voting in previous elections.
The elections are scheduled for later in 2026, with official dates yet to be confirmed by the Moroccan government. International observers will monitor the process for fairness and transparency.
