In a surprising turn of local political events, informed sources have revealed to Al-Maaraka newspaper that Mr. Al-Masoudi, the President of the Taza City Council and a member of the Authenticity and Modernity Party, has been dismissed from his position by order of the provincial governor.
The same sources clarified that this decision came following a report prepared by the Ministry of Interior’s inspection team, which uncovered financial irregularities in the management and administration of the municipality. This decision puts an end to Al-Masoudi’s tenure, which had been marked by political tensions within the city council.
It is worth noting that Al-Masoudi had been facing increasing difficulties in maintaining his majority within the Taza City Council, with recent times witnessing a notable expansion in the opposition base that had been calling for his removal.
This development raises questions about the future of local administration in Taza and the extent to which these events will impact ongoing development projects in the city. It also highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in managing local affairs.
We were unable to obtain a comment from Mr. Al-Masoudi or representatives of the Authenticity and Modernity Party at the time of writing this report. More details on this matter are expected to emerge in the coming days, particularly regarding future procedures for managing municipal affairs and electing a new council president.
