The legislative elections held on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, have led to notable alterations in the composition of the House of Representatives in Morocco. A number of incumbents from the 2021-2026 legislative term were unable to secure their return to the legislative body, marking a significant shift in the political landscape.
Among the prominent figures who exited the House of Representatives is Mohammed Aouad from the Sale City constituency, who represented the Party of Progress and Socialism during the previous term but failed to retain his seat in the new election cycle.
The elections in Settat saw the end of the parliamentary tenure for three representatives simultaneously: Said Nmeili, Mohammed Hechami, and Mustafa Qasimi. Nmeili, a candidate for the Socialist Union of Popular Forces, finished in eighth place with 5,266 votes, a stark decline from the 15,032 votes he received in the 2021 elections, resulting in the loss of his seat.
Similarly, Mohammed Hechami, who was elected in 2021 as a member of the Popular Movement and ran in the 2026 elections under the Moroccan Liberal Party, also failed to make the winners' list. Mustafa Qasimi, who had been elected in 2021 representing the Istiqlal Party, was unable to maintain his position after standing as a candidate for the Constitutional Union in the 2026 elections.
In the city of Fez, election results led to the ousting of significant parliamentarians from the previous term. In the Fez Southern constituency, Allal Al-Amrawi, a parliamentarian from the Istiqlal Party, could not renew his seat, which went to candidates from the Justice and Development Party, Popular Movement, Authenticity and Modernity Party, and the National Rally of Independents.
In the Northern Fez constituency, Tahami Al-Wazani, a deputy from the National Rally of Independents, also failed to secure a position after having topped the results in the 2021 elections.
In the Tata constituency, Hassan Al-Tabi, a deputy from the Authenticity and Modernity Party during the 2021-2026 term, lost his seat, as his list did not qualify for representation in the House of Representatives.
Another notable loss was Mohammad Abrashan, a long-standing prominent name in the Nador region. The final results revealed that the Socialist Union of Popular Forces, under which Abrashan ran, garnered only 7,153 votes, placing him fifth and outside the four available seats in the constituency.
In the Mdiq-Fnideq constituency, Abdul Nour Al-Hassanawi, a candidate from the Socialist Union, also lost his seat after the two available seats were won by Mohammed Al-Arabi Al-Marabet from the Authenticity and Modernity Party and Issam Al-Farasi from the Justice and Development Party.
In the Sefrou constituency, Idris Al-Shatibi, a deputy from the Socialist Union and the third vice president of the House during the 2021-2026 term, was among the most notable departures after finishing fifth with 4,843 votes, while Mustafa Lakhsem, a candidate from the Social Democratic Movement, topped the results with 19,608 votes.
These results reflect a significant renewal in part of the parliamentary landscape, with the exit of names that have served multiple terms within the House of Representatives, making way for new faces and parties in various constituencies that have maintained a relatively stable representation for years.
