In a significant political event today, Friday, November 1, 2024, the Constitutional Union Party claimed the presidency of the Meknes Municipal Council.
Their candidate, Mr. Abbas El Maghari, secured victory with 26 votes, defeating Mrs. Samira Qassiour, the candidate from the National Rally of Independents (RNI) led by Aziz Akhannouch, who received 19 votes.
This outcome comes as an unexpected blow to the “Dove” party, which had invested considerable effort in retaining this key position through a close and intense campaign aimed at securing council members’ support.
However, the vote went against their expectations, granting the Constitutional Union a crucial opportunity to increase its influence in the region and shifting the balance of power within the Meknes council.
Analysts note that this victory highlights the Constitutional Union’s capacity to rally council support, signaling a shift in political alliances that could have wider implications on both local and national levels. The win strengthens the party’s position in local politics and could pave the way for new alliances in other municipalities across Morocco.
With this success, the Constitutional Union reaffirms its influential presence and takes a step toward expanding its role in Moroccan politics.
Meanwhile, this loss presents the National Rally of Independents with fresh challenges in maintaining its standing in local councils.
