Morocco's 2026 legislative election results continued to emerge as officials tallied votes across constituencies. Daily News Egypt reported that the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) positioned itself as the largest party, placing it at the center of talks to form the next government. However, turnout hit just 38% — the lowest since 2007 — prompting Hespress to note that Morocco's National Human Rights Council called for institutional review.
In Casablanca-Settat, PAM led with 157,495 votes (19.37%), while the PJD (Justice and Development Party) came second with 139,708 votes (17.19%). Newsy Today reported that PAM won 97 seats overall, with the National Rally of Independents securing 66 seats. The Popular Movement claimed 18 parliamentary seats, including positions held by leader Mohamed Ouzzine and incumbent Abdelnabi Eidoudi.
PAM's Lead Powered by Football Chief Endorsement
Times of Israel reported that PAM's strong showing came largely after the party recruited Fouzi Lekjaa, Morocco's football chief, to its ranks. The centrist party, founded by an adviser to Morocco's king, capitalized on this late addition to surge ahead of rivals. Archynetys noted the endorsement likely helped boost PAM's standing among voters in key constituencies.
PJD Gains Ground Despite PAM Victory
While PAM claimed the top spot, the Islamist PJD made notable gains in regional contests. In Safi, local authorities' results showed the PJD leading PAM, with a turnout of 30.19%. In Casablanca's Anfa constituency, PJD candidate Abdessamad Hiker secured a seat, finishing ahead of PAM's Najwa Koukous and Left Alliance candidate Nabila Mounib, according to reporting from PSU sources.
Low Turnout Raises Questions About Voter Engagement
The 38% turnout marked Morocco's lowest participation rate since 2007, signaling weak voter engagement. Hespress reported that the National Human Rights Council (CNDH) called for elected and executive institutions to reassess how they connect with citizens. This low turnout could complicate PAM's efforts to build a stable coalition government in the weeks ahead.
Women Candidates Advance in Regional Lists
In the women's regional list for Rabat-Sale-Kenitra, PAM dominated with 164,525 votes, followed by the PJD (81,742 votes) and RNI (54,351 votes). The Popular Movement reported that Rim Chabat, daughter of former Istiqlal Secretary-General Hamid Chabat, won a seat in Fes Al Chamalia. These results showed diverse regional patterns in how voters backed candidates across Morocco's constituencies.
