Morocco's legislative elections held on Wednesday resulted in a victory for the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), which secured 97 seats in the House of Representatives, according to official results. The National Rally of Independents (RNI) followed with 66 seats, and the Istiqlal Party obtained 65 seats.
The Justice and Development Party (PJD), an Islamist opposition group, experienced a significant decline, though exact figures were not immediately available. Voter turnout was notably low, with many citizens abstaining, a recurring trend in Moroccan elections.
Despite the high abstention rate, some voters who participated expressed satisfaction with the electoral process, highlighting the importance of exercising their democratic right. The elections were monitored by domestic and international observers, who noted the peaceful conduct of the vote.
The new parliament will be tasked with addressing key issues including economic recovery, unemployment, and social reforms. The PAM's strong showing positions it to play a leading role in forming the next government.
