Election Results for the Progress and Socialism Party
In the recent 2026 legislative elections, the Progress and Socialism Party (PPS) secured a total of 19 seats in the House of Representatives. This allocation includes 10 seats from local constituencies and 9 seats reserved for women in regional districts. Despite the party's ambitious goal of obtaining at least 50 seats, the results fell short of expectations, reflecting a significant decline compared to the previous elections held on September 8, 2021, when they achieved 22 seats.
The successful candidates representing the PPS in local constituencies include Rashid Hamouni from the Boulemane district, Mariam Wahsaat from Beni Mellal, Ahmed Al-Abadi from Taza, and Abdelilah Idrissi Bouzaidi from Taounate-Tissa, among others. In the regional districts, notable wins include Mariam Al-Kanouni in Marrakech-Safi, Dalila Al-Oudai in Casablanca-Settat, and Soumeya Mounsef Haji in Rabat-Salé-Kénitra. Additionally, the party’s representation includes Khadija Al-Baz from Souss-Massa and Fatima Al-Zahra Barhiyoui from Fez-Meknes.
These election results have sparked discussions within the party regarding the implications of their performance. The PPS had anticipated a more favorable outcome, potentially positioning themselves as a stronger force within the Moroccan political landscape. The disappointment stems not only from falling short of their target but also from the shrinking number of seats compared to previous elections, raising questions about the party's strategy and voter support.
