Morocco's Interior Ministry announced on Wednesday that the final results of the legislative elections, held on September 23, 2026, match the initial provisional results. According to a statement, the regional and local counting committees, led by judges, completed the vote count and declared the results in various provinces, prefectures, and regions across the country. The committees also submitted their reports to the Constitutional Court as per legislative requirements.
The final results confirm the number of seats won by each party in the elections. The Authenticity and Modernity Party secured 97 seats, while the National Rally of Independents won 66 seats. The Independence Party took 65 seats, and the Justice and Development Party secured 54 seats. Other parties, including the Popular Movement, the Socialist Union of Popular Forces, and the Progress and Socialism Party, also won seats.
The Interior Ministry's statement detailed the number of seats won by each party. The Popular Movement secured 29 seats, the Socialist Union of Popular Forces won 26 seats, and the Progress and Socialism Party took 19 seats. The Constitutional Union won 17 seats, while the Social Democratic Movement and the Left Alliance each secured 8 seats. The Democratic Forces Front and the Equity Party each won 2 seats.
The Interior Ministry also reminded candidates that they have the right to access voting records and reports from the counting committees. According to the law, candidates can access these documents at local or regional administrative offices during working hours for eight days after they are posted. This allows candidates to review the election process and verify the results.
Candidates who have disputes with the election results can also access the election records and take copies of them. The law grants them this right for eight days during working hours after they receive a petition. This provision aims to ensure transparency and allow candidates to challenge the results if necessary.
The legislative elections took place on September 23, 2026, and were an important step in Morocco's democratic process. The elections aimed to elect members of the House of Representatives, the lower house of Morocco's parliament. The final results, as announced by the Interior Ministry, will determine the composition of the parliament for the upcoming term.
The confirmation of the final results marks the end of the election process, and attention now turns to the formation of the new government. Morocco's political parties will likely engage in negotiations to form a coalition government or determine the next steps in the country's governance.
