Fouzi Lekjaa Launches Election Campaign in Casablanca
On September 10, 2026, Fouzi Lekjaa, a key figure in the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), inaugurated his party's electoral campaign in Casablanca, aimed at the upcoming legislative elections set for September 23. During a gathering that attracted over 400 attendees, Lekjaa emphasized the urgent need for a "change of course" in government policy, targeting significant issues such as purchasing power, health care, education, and the youth's trust in politics. His speech conveyed a strong message that the upcoming elections should not merely highlight the country's challenges but should also serve as a pivotal moment to "correct and change the trajectory" of governance.
Key Priorities for Morocco's Future
In his address, Lekjaa lamented that discussions surrounding the PAM's electoral program had become sidetracked, focusing on minor issues rather than addressing the core problems faced by the nation. He expressed his frustration over the political discourse, which he felt had devolved into trivial debates about inconsequential topics instead of seeking substantial solutions for the Moroccan populace. "I speak with pain and bitterness for my country first," he remarked, highlighting the necessity for a more meaningful political dialogue.
Importantly, Lekjaa clarified that his motivations were not personal, stating, "I am not running for election, nor am I interested in that. What matters to me is Morocco and the Moroccans." His commitment to enhancing purchasing power was central to his message, advocating for affordable essential goods and a reduction in prices to improve living conditions for families.
Moreover, Lekjaa underscored the critical need for extensive reforms in the health and education sectors, asserting that mere infrastructure development is insufficient. He argued that true progress in health care requires not just new buildings but also incentivizing medical professionals to work within hospitals. "Health is not about constructing buildings but about persuading doctors and nurses to serve in hospitals," he stated, reinforcing the need for systemic change.
Restoring trust in political action, particularly among the youth, was another significant theme of Lekjaa's address. He emphasized the importance of providing genuine opportunities for success across various fields, from sports to innovation. "We must give young people pathways to success in all domains," he urged, reiterating that the aspirations of Moroccans must be at the heart of political actions.
As he concluded his remarks, Lekjaa praised the mobilization of PAM structures in Casablanca and expressed confidence in their ability to achieve favorable results in the upcoming elections for the Casablanca-Settat region. This event marked the beginning of a series of rallies and meetings organized by the PAM as part of their official campaign for the legislative elections.
