Morocco's Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) has formed a four-party governing coalition alongside the nationalist Istiqlal Party, the Socialist Union of Popular Forces, and the Party of Progress and Socialism . Led by Prime Minister Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri-the first female head of government in Moroccan history-the incoming centrist and moderate-left alliance holds 207 seats in the 395-member House of Representatives, crossing the 198-seat threshold required for a parliamentary majority. The block is finalizing its cabinet lineup for royal approval amid pressure to mitigate a severe cost-of-living crisis, and address high youth unemployment. To unpack this further, we speak to Dr Ibrahim Momoh, Political analyst and Lecturer in the Department of Political Science at Ambrose Alli University in Nigeria
