Assessment

Low confidence: evidence unknown (a key fact is not linked to evidence); 3 distinct outlets

Morocco's Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) has won the legislative elections, securing a plurality but falling short of an absolute majority, necessitating coalition negotiations. The election recorded a 38% voter turnout, the lowest in two decades, indicating significant voter disillusionment and raising concerns about the legitimacy and stability of the incoming government. The concentration of real power with the monarchy is cited as a contributing factor to youth disengagement and limited political influence.

Why it matters: The election outcome maintains political continuity but the low turnout and need for coalition talks could impact policy stability and the perceived legitimacy of elected institutions.
