Morocco's monarchy-aligned Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) has won the most seats in the country's parliamentary elections, according to provisional results released on Thursday. The party secured 97 out of 395 seats in the House of Representatives, positioning it ahead of its rivals.
The provisional results, announced by the Interior Ministry, show PAM leading the polls, though final results are still pending. The elections were held to choose members of the lower house of parliament, which plays a key role in forming the government.
Under Morocco's political system, the king holds significant executive powers, including the authority to appoint the prime minister and dissolve parliament. The party with the most seats typically leads coalition negotiations to form a government.
Voter turnout and other detailed results were not immediately available. Official confirmation of the final results is expected in the coming days.
