After the Moroccan legislative elections, Mohammed VI feminizes the Kingdom's Prime Ministership

On September 29, 2026, Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri, mayor of Marrakech and former Minister of Housing, was appointed as the first woman to lead the Moroccan government by King Mohammed VI, following the victory of the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) in the September 23 legislative elections. She needs to form a coalition as her party holds 97 of 395 seats in the House of Representatives. The appointment is seen as a historic moment for Morocco and its women.
