The Authentic Freedom Party, also known as the National Rally of Independents, has decided to convene its National Council on October 3rd in Rabat. This meeting will discuss and make a decision regarding the party's potential participation in the upcoming government. This move comes after recent political consultations and in light of the new stage's requirements.
According to a statement released after a meeting of the party's Political Bureau, the National Rally of Independents is prepared to participate in the upcoming government. This participation would allow the party to continue contributing to ongoing projects and reforms while enhancing its achievements. The party's stance is a result of ongoing political consultations aimed at forming a new government.
These consultations follow the appointment of Fatima Zahra El Mansouri as Head of Government by King Mohammed VI and her task to form a new government. The Political Bureau emphasized that the final decision on government participation will be made by the National Council. This approach aligns with the party's institutional methodology for making major decisions.
The National Rally of Independents previously participated in the government under the leadership of Aziz Akhannouch. The party's Political Bureau praised Akhannouch's role in managing the majority and maintaining its cohesion. They also expressed appreciation for the accomplishments of the sectors managed by party ministers.
In assessing the previous government's term, the Political Bureau acknowledged the party's decline in the recent legislative elections compared to the previous elections. However, they consider the party remains a significant political force within Morocco's party landscape. The elections demonstrated the party's continued electoral and organizational presence across different regions of the country.
The party has called for a responsible and transparent approach to the election results, emphasizing the importance of understanding the messages conveyed by voters. They plan to draw necessary lessons from the elections and focus on enhancing their organizational work. This includes renewing their tools and mechanisms and strengthening their field presence and communication.
