Morocco's National Rally of Independents (RNI) has emerged as the largest party in the 2026 parliamentary elections, according to official results. The party, led by Aziz Akhannouch, secured the highest number of seats in the House of Representatives, positioning it to lead the formation of a new coalition government.
Under Morocco's constitution, the king appoints the prime minister from the party that wins the most seats. The RNI will now enter negotiations with other parties to build a majority coalition. The previous government was also led by Akhannouch, who has served as prime minister since 2021.
Voter turnout and final seat counts have been reported by the Interior Ministry. The elections were held amid economic challenges and regional tensions, but international observers noted the process was largely peaceful.
Coalition talks are expected to focus on economic reforms, job creation, and social welfare. The new government will face pressing issues including inflation and drought impacts. The RNI's ability to form a stable coalition will be crucial for Morocco's political stability.
