Casablanca-Settat prepares for legislative elections
The Casablanca-Settat region is preparing for intense legislative elections, with 16 local constituencies competing for 57 seats in the House of Representatives. The race features a diverse array of candidates, including experienced political figures, local elected officials, and newcomers. In the Casablanca-Anfa district, 20 lists are competing for four seats, while other areas like Fida-Merre Sultan and Ben M'sik also see high levels of competition.
Amidst this political activity, concerns have emerged regarding electoral brokers attempting to influence voters. Reports indicate that some intermediaries are seeking to leverage personal connections to mobilize voters for specific candidates, sometimes demanding significant financial sums. In response, internal affairs departments in the provinces of Casablanca-Settat have reportedly alerted authorities to monitor the electoral atmosphere and prevent illegal attempts to influence voter will.
