Morocco held legislative elections on September 23, 2026, to renew the 395 seats of the House of Representatives. The Ministry of Interior reported a final national voter turnout of 38.02%, a significant decline from the 50% participation in 2021 and the lowest rate since 2007. This low engagement, particularly among youth, was attributed to social frustration regarding unemployment, rising costs of living, and inequality. Leading up to the election, political parties presented diverging socio-economic visions. The Istiqlal Party proposed state-led approaches to food security and education, while the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) focused on direct social support and wage increases. The Progress and Socialism Party emphasized social justice, targeting poverty and youth unemployment, and the National Rally of Liberty (RNI) campaigned on expanding healthcare and raising the minimum wage. Following the elections, King Mohammed VI appointed Fatima Zahra El Mansouri as the country’s first female Prime Minister. A four-party coalition was established, comprising the Authenticity and Modernity Party (97 seats), the Istiqlal Party (65 seats), the Socialist Union of Popular Forces (26 seats), and the Progress and Socialism Party (19 seats). Holding 207 seats, the alliance surpassed the 198-seat majority threshold. The coalition government has pledged to select ministers based on “competence, political sense, and integrity.” Its reformist agenda focuses on social justice, economic productivity, and managing national projects like the 2030 FIFA World Cup. ~~Recently,~~ On October 28, 2026, the Progress and Socialism Party ~~expressed~~ reviewed the government’s program following its parliamentary installation.
