Party Performances and Key Constituencies

In the Casablanca-Anfa constituency, the Justice and Development Party (PJD) secured a significant victory with Abdessamad Hiker winning a seat, while Najwa Koukous from the National Rally of Independents (PAM) and Nabila Mounib from the Left Alliance followed closely. The PAM party also demonstrated strength in the Casablanca-Settat region, garnering 157,495 votes (19.37%), leading the PJD, which received 139,708 votes (17.19%). Other parties such as the Istiqlal Party and the RNI also garnered notable shares of the vote, contributing to a dynamic electoral competition.

In Safi, the PJD continued to show its dominance, leading the constituency, while turnout remained relatively low at 30.19%. Meanwhile, in the Rabat-Sale-Kenitra region, PAM topped the women’s regional list with 164,525 votes, showcasing its commitment to gender representation in politics. The Popular Movement reported a successful campaign, claiming 18 seats across various constituencies, including notable wins by Secretary-General Mohamed Ouzzine and other prominent candidates.

As the night progressed, the mood among supporters varied, with Istiqlal party members expressing disappointment as preliminary results began to favor PAM. The early reports indicated that PAM was leading in several constituencies, bolstered by the apparent strength of its grassroots campaign. In the Settat constituency, the Party of Renewal and Equity made an impressive showing, leading with 10,718 votes, followed by PAM and Istiqlal.

With ongoing counting and results still being tallied, the political landscape in Morocco appears to be shifting, with various parties claiming leads in numerous districts. As the electoral process continues, the final outcomes will be pivotal in shaping Morocco's legislative future and governance.
