Fatima-Zahra El Mansouri Appointed as Morocco's First Female Prime Minister
Following last week's parliamentary elections, King Mohammed VI appointed Fatima-Zahra El Mansouri as Morocco's first female prime minister. A prominent member of the winning PAM party and current mayor of Marrakech, she must now form a coalition despite the king retaining significant strategic powers over foreign policy and security. Reactions to her appointment have been mixed, reflecting the country's patriarchal structures, while her predecessor Aziz Akhannouch’s RNI party saw its seat count decline.
