Morocco's Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) has taken an early lead in the country's parliamentary elections, according to Samir Kodar, head of the party's organization sector. Kodar announced that the PAM was leading based on preliminary results, but emphasized that these results were subject to change and that an official announcement would be made by the Interior Ministry. The party plans to hold a press conference once all official data is available to inform the public and provide detailed election numbers.
According to Kodar, the PAM's lead is expected to be confirmed once the official results are announced. He added that the party's management will provide a detailed briefing on the election results in a press conference. The PAM's potential victory could strengthen its position in Morocco's national political landscape. The party's performance has been closely watched by observers and supporters.
A senior PAM official told Goud that the party was likely to win more than 15 seats more than the second-placed party, based on preliminary estimates. This would give the PAM a comfortable lead and reinforce its position in Moroccan politics. The official results are still pending, but the PAM's early lead suggests a strong performance.
In Casablanca, the PAM appeared to be performing well in several districts. According to preliminary results, the party's candidates were leading in several areas, including Ben M'sik and Sidi Bernoussi. Other parties, including the Justice and Development Party (PJD), were also performing well in certain districts. The PJD's Abdelilah Benkirane was a former prime minister.
The Union Constitutionnelle party won four seats in the Casablanca region, while the PJD was leading in several other districts. In the Ain Sbaa district, the PAM's candidate, Hassan Choukri, was leading, while in the Fida district, the PJD's candidate, Abdelaziz Nahnach, was ahead. The results were preliminary and subject to change.
Other parties were also celebrating early victories. The Socialist Party's candidate, Omar Rhamani, won a seat in the Anfa district, while the Labour Party's candidate, Fatima Zahra Rabi, won a seat in the Nouaceur district. The preliminary results suggested that several parties were likely to win seats in the new parliament.
The elections were marked by a moderate turnout, with some parties expressing satisfaction with the results. The head of the Liberal Party, Mohamed Ouchakour, said that he was "comfortable" with the preliminary results and the turnout. However, other parties, including the PJD, expressed concerns about the low turnout and its implications for the country's democracy.
