Political Developments in Fes
In a significant political development, Khalid Al-Ajli, the parliamentary representative from the National Rally of Independents (RNI) for the southern district of Fes, has officially resigned from his position in the House of Representatives. This decision paves the way for his anticipated transition to the Popular Movement party, following the RNI's decision not to endorse him for the upcoming legislative elections. The resignation was announced by the Secretary General of the House during the final public session of the 2025-2026 legislative year, effectively marking the end of his parliamentary representation under the RNI banner.
According to information obtained by "Al-Omq Moroccan," this move comes after it became clear that Al-Ajli would not receive the party's endorsement to lead its list in the southern Fes constituency, as his party had opted to support his colleague, Zeina Shahim, instead. This decision hastened Al-Ajli's departure from the RNI, prompting him to seek new political opportunities.
Sources from "Al-Omq Moroccan" have revealed that the leadership of the Popular Movement has finalized its candidates for the upcoming legislative elections in Fes. They have nominated parliamentary representative Reem Shabat for the northern district of Fes, while Khalid Al-Ajli has been chosen to lead the party's list in the southern district. This strategic alliance appears to be a response to both parties' desire to embark on a new political journey under the banner of the Popular Movement, in preparation for the anticipated legislative elections in 2026.
Khalid Al-Ajli is regarded as one of the prominent electoral figures in Fes, having secured a parliamentary seat in the previous by-elections representing the RNI after receiving 9,767 votes, significantly outpacing his nearest rival, who garnered only 3,854 votes. His victory followed the disqualification of the former parliamentary member, Abdelkader Al-Bousiri, due to a criminal case against him.
