Morocco Appoints First Female Prime Minister Amid Youth Disillusionment

King Mohammed VI has appointed Fatima Zahra El Mansouri as Morocco’s first female prime minister, making her the third woman to lead a government in the Arab world. El Mansouri, a 50-year-old lawyer and former mayor of Marrakesh, leads the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), which won 97 seats in the recent elections but lacks the 198-seat majority needed to govern alone. Her appointment follows a period of low voter turnout among youth and protests against government spending on the 2030 FIFA World Cup. She must now negotiate a coalition to form a government, facing opposition from parties like the Justice and Development Party.

Morocco’s PAM wins parliamentary plurality but faces coalition hurdles amid record-low turnout

Morocco’s Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) won the most seats in the September 2026 parliamentary election but failed to secure an outright majority. The monarchy-aligned party took 97 of 395 seats, requiring coalition partners to govern. Turnout dropped to 38 percent, the second-lowest in King Mohammed VI’s reign, driven by youth protests and economic frustration. PAM’s rival, the Justice and Development Party (PJD), quadrupled its seats to 54 but will likely remain in opposition. The incoming government must navigate coalition-building while overseeing preparations for the 2030 World Cup co-hosted with Spain and Portugal.
