Morocco's National Council of the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) has delegated Fatima Zahra Mansouri, the party's national coordinator, to negotiate with parliamentary political parties to form a government majority. This decision was made during an extraordinary session held in Skhirate, where council members voted in favor of the delegation. Mansouri is also the head of the government formation process.

The National Council's decision came after extensive discussions and debates on the party's vision for future alliances. The council members reviewed the general outline for upcoming alliances, with a focus on the second phase of consultations led by Mansouri and a party committee for negotiations. The session witnessed lively debates on the prospects for the next stage.

Contrary to claims made by Nizar Baraka, the general secretary of the Independence Party, the PAM's National Council did not vote on any decision to exclude the National Rally of Independents from the government coalition. The party's leadership has thus maintained an open stance regarding potential coalition partners.

Fatima Zahra Mansouri now holds significant authority in shaping the government's majority. As the national coordinator of the PAM and head of the government formation process, she will engage with various parliamentary parties to secure a coalition. Her appointment reflects the party's trust in her ability to navigate complex negotiations.

The PAM's move is seen as a strategic step towards forming a stable government. By delegating authority to Mansouri, the party aims to expedite the coalition-building process. Morocco has been navigating a complex political landscape, and the formation of a stable government is crucial for addressing pressing national issues.

Mansouri's task will involve balancing the interests of various political parties. She will need to navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries within the Moroccan parliament. Her success in forming a stable coalition will depend on her ability to build consensus among different parties.

The coming days will be crucial in determining the outcome of Mansouri's negotiations. As she engages with parliamentary parties, her decisions will likely shape the future of Morocco's government. The PAM's delegation of authority to Mansouri marks a significant development in the country's ongoing efforts to form a stable government.
