Government and coalitions
Before the vote
Aziz Akhannouch (RNI) has been head of government since October 2021, leading a coalition of the RNI, the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) and Istiqlal. He is not standing in this election and handed the RNI leadership to Mohamed Chaouki in February 2026.
After the vote
The Interior Ministry proclaimed the definitive results on 26 September: the PAM won 97 of the 395 seats, ahead of the RNI (66), Istiqlal (65) and the PJD (54); a majority takes 198, so at least three parties are needed. The three parties of the outgoing majority hold 228 together. On 29 September King Mohammed VI appointed Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri (PAM) head of government and charged her with forming one; as of 3 October no coalition had been announced.
About this election
How the vote works
The 395 members of the House of Representatives are elected by proportional representation in two tiers: 305 in 92 local constituencies and 90 in twelve regional constituencies, on lists meant to promote women and younger candidates. Seats are distributed by largest remainder, with the electoral quotient based on registered voters rather than votes cast since a 2021 reform. Elections are supervised by the Ministry of the Interior.
