Authenticity and Modernity Party suspends Tangier Mayor Mounir Limouri
The Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) has suspended the membership of Mounir Limouri, the Mayor of Tangier and regional party secretary, following allegations of electoral fraud.
The decision by the party's National Arbitration and Ethics Commission comes amid a judicial investigation into the September 23 legislative elections in the Tangier-Asilah constituency. Reports indicate the investigation involves the theft and alteration of ballots. Limouri has been placed in pretrial detention as part of these proceedings.
The PAM leadership, which recently won 97 seats in the elections, initially characterized the allegations as a 'political conspiracy.' However, the party has now taken disciplinary action, emphasizing that this internal measure is independent of the ongoing criminal investigation and respects the presumption of innocence.
