Political Shifts in Marrakech: PAM Endorses New Candidate for Gueliz Al-Nakheel Constituency

According to informed sources, the Party of Authenticity and Modernity (PAM) has officially endorsed current parliament member Mohamed Sabari to run for the Gueliz Al-Nakheel constituency in Marrakech. This decision comes in light of the party's previous candidate, Fatima Zahra Ben Taleb, daughter of prominent party leader Habib Ben Taleb, who has long been a key figure for PAM in various electoral events due to his widespread popularity and strong political presence.

The sources noted that this decision sparked considerable debate within local political circles, especially since Fatima Zahra Ben Taleb was a strong contender for the upcoming elections, leveraging her family's political legacy and the extensive network of connections established by her father. He has played a significant role in solidifying PAM's presence in numerous electoral contexts.

Furthermore, the strained relationship between Ben Taleb and PAM leadership prompted the party to support Mohamed Sabari, which analysts view as a strategic move to promote candidates with parliamentary and political experience capable of managing a complex electoral battle in the Gueliz Al-Nakheel constituency. This area is recognized as one of the most sensitive and competitive districts in Marrakech.

Sources from Bladna24 highlighted that Sabari's chances of winning the parliamentary seat remain strong, especially given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding candidate lists from several other political parties, which have yet to finalize their nominees. This situation opens the electoral landscape to multiple potential scenarios.

While awaiting other parties to reveal their electoral strategies, the Gueliz Al-Nakheel district is set for a political race that already appears distinct from other constituencies, where party calculations intersect with local balances. This makes the upcoming parliamentary battle one of the most exciting events to follow in Marrakech.
