PSP's Election Results: A Disappointing Outcome
The Party of Progress and Socialism (PPS) has concluded the 2026 parliamentary elections with a total of 19 seats in the House of Representatives. This number is comprised of 10 seats secured in local districts and 9 seats designated for women in regional constituencies. The results reflect a significant shortfall from the party's earlier projections, which anticipated a minimum of 50 seats, underscoring a disappointing outcome for the organization.
Notable candidates who achieved victory in local districts include Rachid Hamouni from the Boulemane constituency, Mariam Wahsaa from the Béni Mellal district, Ahmad Al-Abadi from Taza, and Abdelilah Idrissi Bouzaidi from Taounate-Tissa. Additionally, Osman Al-Marsi won in the Essaouira district, Abdel-Khalek Bysante in Larache, Hassan Darham in Laâyoune, and Mohamed Qasha in Tinghir.
In the realm of regional constituencies, Mariam El-Kanouni was elected from the Marrakech-Safi region, Dalila Al-Ouddi from Casablanca-Settat, and Soumeya Mounsef Haji from the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region. Other successful female candidates include Hanan Al-Soufi from the East region, Fatima Esweidi from Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra, Khadija Al-Baz from Souss-Massa, and Ahlam Jeld from Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima, along with Fatima Zahra Rahioui from the Fes-Meknes region, and Hafida Emami from Beni Mellal-Khenifra.
The results highlight a decline in electoral performance for the PPS, which previously secured 22 seats in the September 2021 elections. This downward trend raises questions about the party's future strategies and its ability to galvanize support amid changing political landscapes.
