Mounir El Bari has been re-elected as president of the COVAD (Conseil des Villes et Districts) for the 2026-2031 term, as confirmed by multiple sources. The election took place during a session of the COVAD assembly on May 19, 2026, in Rabat, Morocco.
El Bari, who previously served as president since 2021, received a majority of votes from member representatives. His re-election underscores continuity in the organization's leadership, which focuses on urban development and local governance in Morocco.
The COVAD represents Moroccan cities and districts, advocating for decentralized governance and sustainable urban policies. El Bari's new term will run until 2031, during which he is expected to advance initiatives on smart cities and regional cooperation.
