Morocco's three-party ruling coalition has won the country's legislative elections, according to results announced on Thursday, September 24. The vote was marked by a turnout of just 38%, the lowest in nearly two decades.
The coalition, comprising the Justice and Development Party (PJD), the National Rally of Independents (RNI), and the Popular Movement (MP), secured a majority of seats in the House of Representatives. The low participation rate reflects growing voter apathy and dissatisfaction with the political process.
Observers noted that the elections took place amid economic challenges and social unrest, which may have contributed to the low turnout. The new parliament will be tasked with addressing pressing issues such as unemployment and economic recovery.
International monitors have not reported major irregularities, but the low turnout has raised questions about the legitimacy of the new government. The coalition is expected to form the next government in the coming weeks.
