Morocco's Istiqlal party has made a decisive move to join the country's new government. On Saturday, the party's national council convened an extraordinary session to assess its performance in the recent legislative elections and determine its stance on participating in the government. The council unanimously agreed to enter the ruling coalition, entrusting its Secretary-General, Nizar Baraka, and the executive committee to continue negotiations with the leadership of the Authenticity and Modernity Party.
The Istiqlal party's decision comes after its national council evaluated the party's performance in the recent legislative elections. The party ran on a clear platform, promising to protect families and the nation's values, maintain purchasing power, and combat speculation and corruption. The party's Secretary-General, Nizar Baraka, expressed gratitude to the national council members for their trust, enabling the party to continue working to meet citizens' expectations.
According to Baraka, the Istiqlal party's electoral program focused on improving public services, particularly in education and healthcare. He noted that there are several areas of convergence between the Istiqlal party's and Authenticity and Modernity Party's electoral programs, which should be emphasized during the next stage. The party's participation in the government is contingent upon the implementation of its electoral commitments.
