PAM won a decisive victory in Morocco’s recent parliamentary elections, securing the largest share of seats in the lower house, but it fell short of an outright majority, leaving the formation of a coalition government in the balance.

The elections, held earlier this year, saw the ruling party rally support across the country, but the fragmented vote means that no single party can govern alone.

With the new parliament in place, the next government will be tasked with steering Morocco’s preparations for the 2030 World Cup, a major international event that the country is set to host.

These developments come amid growing public frustration over the local economy, with many citizens expressing concerns about job creation, inflation and public services.

Political analysts say that coalition negotiations will be crucial in determining whether the country can deliver on its World Cup commitments while addressing the economic challenges that have become a source of widespread discontent.
