The meeting, organized by the Istiqlal Party, was attended by a large crowd of residents from several local communities. During the meeting, Abd al-Samad Qayyuh, the head of the Istiqlal Party's list in the Taroudant South constituency, delivered a speech in which he emphasized the importance of the upcoming electoral event.
Qayyuh highlighted that the September 23 elections will be a significant milestone, as they will determine the members of the House of Representatives and have implications for the country's political landscape, including the formation of the next government. He called on citizens to participate actively in the electoral process, stressing that the choice is theirs and that they have the freedom to vote for the party, program, or candidate of their choice.
The politician touched on several challenges that the next government will have to address, including the issue of territorial integrity and the implementation of the autonomy proposal in the Sahrawi regions. He also mentioned the preparations for the 2030 World Cup, which Morocco will host, and highlighted several major infrastructure projects, including the expansion of airports, the development of high-speed rail networks, and the promotion of tourism and sports investments.
According to Qayyuh, these projects will open up new opportunities for young people, create jobs, and boost economic growth in the coming years. He also emphasized the importance of good governance and the need for the next government to prioritize the interests of citizens. The politician presented a review of his party's achievements in various areas, including roads, electricity, and water.

The meeting also featured a presentation of several projects that Qayyuh attributed to the Istiqlal Party's elected officials in various local communities, as well as information on future projects planned for the region.
Among the projects announced by Qayyuh was a new road project that will connect the Bura region to the Lasstach region, with a budget of 1.6 billion dirhams.
