Story summary

King Mohammed VI of Morocco appointed Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri, 50, as the country’s first woman prime minister on September 29 after her party won a parliamentary election held on September 23. The Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), founded in 2008 by an adviser to the king, secured 97 out of 395 seats in the House of Representatives. Despite this victory, PAM did not achieve an outright majority, necessitating potential coalition-building with other parties.

El Mansouri previously served as Marrakesh’s mayor and housing minister before becoming prime minister. Her appointment marks a significant milestone for women's representation in Moroccan politics and is seen by many as a step towards modernization and secularism within the predominantly conservative Arab kingdom. However, some critics question her ability to effect change given Morocco’s constitutional monarchy structure, where the king retains ultimate executive power.

The PAM has positioned itself as an advocate for social modernisation and secular-leaning views, acting as a counterweight to the Islamist Justice and Development Party (PJD). While El Mansouri’s appointment is celebrated by many Moroccans as a positive move towards equality, others remain skeptical about its impact due to traditional patriarchal norms that dictate male dominance in official capacities.
