In Morocco's parliamentary election, the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) won the most seats with 97 out of 395, according to final results announced by the Ministry of Interior on Friday. Despite this victory, PAM lacks an outright majority for governing, needing at least 198 seats. The party will likely need to form a coalition, potentially including Istiqlal and other smaller parties, as PAM's rival, the Justice and Development Party (PJD), quadrupled its seat count from 13 to 54 in this election.

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.

Under Morocco’s constitution, King Mohammed VI must appoint a prime minister from the party that wins the most seats, but PAM fell well short of the 198 seats needed for an outright majority and will need to build a coalition with other parties to govern.
asserted
PAM → mobilise → parties
PAM, founded in 2008 by Fouad Ali El Himma, a friend of the king, has long been seen as a counterweight to the Justice and Development Party (PJD), a moderate Islamist party that led the government for a decade before its parliamentary seats collapsed to 13 in 2021.

PAM’s senior coalition partner, the National Rally of Independents (RNI), lost significant ground, falling from 102 seats to 66.
Only 38 percent of Morocco’s 15.8 million registered voters cast ballots, the second-lowest turnout since King Mohammed VI ascended to the throne in 1999, after a record-low 37 percent in 2007, and sharply down from the roughly 51 percent recorded in 2021.
Analysts attribute the low number to widespread disengagement following youth-led protests last year over jobs, healthcare and education, and deadly mass attempts by migrants to reach Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta in July.
