The Union Socialiste des Forces Populaires (USFP) party in Morocco held a meeting on September 30, 2026, to discuss the recent election results and the current political situation in the country. The meeting was chaired by the party's First Secretary, Driss Lachguar, and was attended by most of the party's Bureau politique members. The party presented an analysis of the new political situation in light of the September 23 election results.
During the meeting, the USFP party saluted the appointment of Fatima Zahra Mansouri as head of the government by King Mohammed VI, calling it a victory for the country's constitution and the King's approach to achieving gender equality and equal opportunities for Moroccan women. The party's First Secretary emphasized the need for a serious and in-depth evaluation of the election results and the dysfunctions that occurred during the electoral process.
The USFP party noted that despite efforts to prepare for the election, corruption and other negative practices had become a structural phenomenon that undermines the freedom of choice of voters. The party expressed concern over the dysfunctions and practices that occurred during the campaign and voting operations, which it said undermined the integrity of the competition and the freedom of choice.
The party emphasized that the strength of institutions depends on the solidity of the rules that govern their formation, the trust that citizens place in them, and their ability to respond to citizens' expectations. The USFP party called for the protection of democratic choice and the responsibility to be shared by all, transcending calculations of gains and losses.
The USFP party outlined several key requirements for any future government, including institutional, administrative, and digital reform to reduce corruption and strengthen public governance. The party also emphasized the need to address the decline in trust in politics, institutions, and social mediators, and to examine the low participation rate in the election.
The party called for initiatives to address the concerns of Moroccan youth, including education and employment opportunities, and to encourage domestic and foreign investment to create wealth and jobs. The USFP party also emphasized the need to respond to the expectations of the Moroccan people in terms of social and spatial justice.
The USFP party concluded that the government is not an end in itself, but a national responsibility that requires those who exercise it to assume a heavy burden. The party emphasized that it will work to document facts and data related to election irregularities and to implement legal procedures to address any established cases of corruption.
