Morocco's Party of Authenticity and Modernity (PAM) has emerged as the leading party in the country's legislative elections, securing 97 seats, according to results reported following the vote.

The Interior Ministry said nationwide voter turnout stood at 38%, a figure that will likely factor into assessments of public engagement with the electoral process across the country.

Coalition-building ahead

With PAM leading but short of an outright majority, the party is expected to enter negotiations with other parties to form a governing coalition, a common feature of Morocco's multi-party parliamentary system. The final composition of the government will depend on how those coalition talks unfold in the weeks following the vote.

The election results will be closely watched both domestically and internationally as an indicator of Morocco's political direction, with the distribution of seats among PAM and other parties shaping the balance of power in the incoming legislature.
