Fatima Zahra Mansouri, coordinator of the collective leadership of the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), stated that her party is open to all national political parties for forming the next government. She emphasized that there are no red lines in the matter of alliances. Mansouri made these remarks during a press conference held in Rabat, alongside other members of the collective leadership.

Mansouri highlighted that the PAM respects all parties that share its commitment to the kingdom's constants. She stressed that future alliances will be subject to institutional discussion within the party's structures. According to Mansouri, the party has no objections to sitting with any other party and believes in dialogue and consultation. The decisive factor in alliances leading to government formation will be the program presented by each party and its priorities.

The PAM recently topped the provisional results of the legislative elections, securing 97 seats. However, the party was involved in a significant scandal on election day, with allegations of vote-rigging in a center in the city of Tangier. Thousands of ballot papers were leaked and placed in boxes in a manner described by observers as "mafia-like." This incident tarnished the reputation of the elections.

Mansouri noted that her party has moved past the election campaign, which was marked by intense competition. She stated that the current goal is to prioritize the general interest and address the major challenges facing the country. The PAM's focus is on serving the nation and its citizens.

Fatima Saadi, a member of the PAM's collective leadership, read out a statement from the party's political bureau regarding the September 23 elections. She emphasized that the PAM is committed to working together and having an open hand to serve the country's interests. Saadi stated that the party's commitment is to the dignity of Moroccans.

Saadi highlighted that the PAM's commitment includes ensuring the well-being, health, employment, education, and future of Moroccan citizens. The party aims to prioritize these aspects in its future endeavors. The PAM's performance in the elections has sparked both interest and controversy.

The PAM's rise to prominence has been marked by both its election success and the controversy surrounding its alleged involvement in vote-rigging. The party's leaders have emphasized their commitment to working with other parties and prioritizing the nation's interests. The formation of the next government will be closely watched, both domestically and internationally.
