Monarchy-aligned PAM leads in Morocco election provisional results
The Authenticity and Modernity Party took 97 of 395 seats in parliament as voter turnout fell to 38 percent, according to Al Jazeera.
Morocco's Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), seen as aligned with the monarchy, has taken the lead in provisional results from the country's parliamentary election, according to Al Jazeera.
The party secured 97 out of 395 seats in parliament, according to the provisional count, positioning it as the largest bloc but short of the majority needed to govern alone.
Voter turnout for the election fell to 38 percent, according to the report, though it did not provide comparative figures from previous elections to contextualize the extent of the decline.
The distribution of the remaining seats among other parties will likely shape the coalition negotiations expected to follow as Morocco moves toward forming its next government.
The report did not specify a timeline for the announcement of final results or for the start of formal talks between parties on government formation.
