Significant Political Shift in Rabat
In a notable political maneuver, Fatiha El Moudni, the current mayor of Rabat, has decided to leave her position within the National Rally of Independents (RNI) and join the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM). This shift comes in the wake of tensions surrounding candidate nominations for the upcoming 2026 parliamentary elections. El Moudni, along with Adil El Atrassi, the president of the Souissi district, officially announced their departure from the RNI in June, citing internal disagreements as a primary reason for their exit. Their recent rejoining of the PAM signals a strategic consolidation of power as the party aims to reinforce its political presence in the Moroccan capital.
PAM Welcomes Back Former RNI Members
On Saturday, PAM released a statement emphasizing the importance of El Moudni and El Atrassi's return to its ranks. The party believes that their experience will significantly enhance its political and organizational dynamics within Rabat. Both individuals have had extensive histories with PAM prior to their brief affiliations with the RNI, where they participated actively in various critical organizational phases and held significant electoral responsibilities. The party views El Moudni's re-entry as a "qualitative addition" that will aid in advancing its projects within the city of Rabat. This transition underscores the ongoing political realignments in Morocco, reflecting a broader trend of party switching that has become increasingly common as elections approach.
