Story summary

On September 23, 395 seats in Morocco's House of Representatives were contested by twenty-seven political parties as part of the legislative elections. The Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) emerged victorious with 97 seats, surpassing its previous coalition partner, the National Rally of Independents (RNI), which secured 66 seats. Despite this win, PAM did not achieve an outright majority and must now negotiate with other parties to form a governing coalition. The election follows widespread youth-led protests over joblessness and high living costs; unemployment for those aged 15-24 stands at 37.3%, contributing to the low voter turnout of just 38% compared to previous years.
