Morocco’s PJD: what has the party learned from its dramatic fall

Morocco's Justice and Development Party (PJD) suffered a dramatic electoral defeat in 2021, dropping from 125 seats to just 13. Once the main beneficiary of post-2011 political reforms, the PJD lost to the National Rally of Independents (RNI), which secured 102 seats. Abdelilah Benkirane, former head of government, has returned to lead the PJD, raising questions about his role in the party's potential recovery.
