In a phone call with the newspaper, Mr. Hajj Mohamed Zaher, the regional coordinator for the Fez-Meknes region of the Democratic Forces Front Party, discussed the dismissal of Hamid Chabat, the former Secretary-General of the Istiqlal Party, and his wife Fatima Tarik from the Fez City Council membership. This decision was based on Law No. 59.11 regarding the election of members of territorial councils.
Hajj Zaher stated that the Democratic Forces Front Party had previously expelled Hamid Chabat from its ranks due to violations against his party. The expulsion came after Chabat missed three consecutive disciplinary council meetings to which he was summoned.
Regarding Mrs. Fatima Tarik, despite her dismissal from the City Council, she still retains her membership in the Olive Party, according to the spokesperson.
Following legal procedures, it is expected that Hamid Chabat and Fatima Tarik will be replaced by the next candidates in the original nomination list. Consequently, MP Raouf Abdelawi Maan, a surgeon, will replace Hamid Chabat, while Nadia Jaridi, a teacher, will replace Fatima Tarik.
The city of Fez witnessed a significant political development with the dismissal of the former Secretary-General of the Istiqlal Party, Hamid Chabat, and his wife Fatima Tarik from the Fez City Council membership. This decision was based on Law No. 59.11 regarding the election of members of territorial councils.
According to the information received, the urban area of Bensoda issued two decisions dismissing Chabat and Tarik from their positions in the Fez City Council in the Zouagha district. This decision was made during the regular session of the council held on May 7, 2024.
It’s worth noting that Chabat and Tarik had run on the “Democratic Forces Front” list under the slogan “Dignity First, Fez First” in the September 8, 2021 elections. Chabat held the position of list agent, while Tarik was the women’s list agent.
The original nomination list included 22 male candidates and 11 female candidates, representing various professional and social groups in the city.
This change in the composition of the Fez City Council may affect the political balance within the council, especially with the departure of a prominent political figure like Hamid Chabat. It is expected that those interested in local affairs will closely monitor the impact of these changes on the council’s performance and future decisions.
This step remains an indicator of the political dynamics in Morocco and the application of laws governing collective work, which enhances the principle of accountability in local administration.
