Morocco's Interior Ministry announced final results for the September 23 legislative elections, with the three outgoing coalition parties claiming the top seats.
- The Interior Ministry announced final results Friday, with the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) taking 97 seats of the 395-seat House of Representatives.
- The ruling coalition's three parties led the field: PAM 97, National Rally of Independents 66, and Independence 65; Justice and Development won 54.
- Interior Minister Abdelouafi Laftit reported turnout of 38.2 percent among 15.8 million registered voters, the lowest in nearly two decades.
- King Mohammed VI will appoint the next prime minister; Fatima Zahra al-Mansouri said a royal mandate would be "a great honor."
- PAM fell short of an outright majority and will need to form a coalition, likely with the monarchist Istiqlal party.
