Moroccan government formation process

Overview

Following the September 23, 2026, legislative elections, King Mohammed VI appointed Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri as Morocco’s first female head of government. Her party, the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), emerged as the leading group with 97 seats in the 395-seat House of Representatives.

On October 12, 2026, after conducting two rounds of political consultations with various parliamentary parties, El Mansouri established a new governing majority. The coalition will consist of four political parties: Authenticity and Modernity, Istiqlal, the Socialist Union of Popular Forces (USFP), and the Party of Progress and Socialism (PPS).

This four-party coalition aims to address national challenges, promote social justice, strengthen economic prosperity, and uphold democratic governance and human rights. The appointment has drawn international attention to gender equality; while celebrated as a historic milestone, the Union of Women's Action has urged El Mansouri to move beyond symbolism, noting Morocco’s low global gender gap ranking and high female unemployment rate. As the new government begins its mandate, it faces the dual task of managing domestic priorities—such as job creation, education, and purchasing power—while preparing for the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
