Fes News has learned from a well-informed source about new details regarding the misuse of municipal vehicles for political activities. According to these new reports from the “Internal Affairs” departments within the Ministry of Interior, certain elected officials have been using vehicles owned by local municipalities for partisan purposes. This has triggered heightened vigilance within the ministry, prompting strict measures to address these violations.
According to the available information, several elected officials have used municipal vehicles—belonging to councils where they serve—to gain political advantages, particularly in ongoing mobilization efforts and early campaigning activities ahead of the 2026 elections. This practice constitutes a clear violation of legal regulations governing the use of public assets, leading the Ministry of Interior to take immediate action by launching a thorough investigation to determine accountability and enforce appropriate legal measures against those involved.
The initial investigations are focusing on municipalities within the Casablanca-Settat, Marrakech-Safi, and Oriental regions, where reports indicate that some municipal vehicles were unlawfully used for partisan activities. In response, provincial governors in the affected areas have issued strict instructions to local municipal leaders, emphasizing the need to comply with legal regulations on managing public assets and to avoid any actions that could compromise the integrity of the electoral process.
Additionally, sources indicate that inspection teams from the General Inspectorate of Territorial Administration have conducted field visits to multiple municipalities in recent days. These inspections reportedly uncovered clear indications of public property being misused for unauthorized purposes. The Ministry of Interior is expected to rely on these reports to impose disciplinary measures, which could include the dismissal of officials found guilty of such violations.
These developments highlight the ministry’s determination to combat any practices that undermine the fair management of local affairs, especially as Morocco approaches key electoral milestones. These investigations align with the ministry’s broader policy of promoting transparency and good governance within local municipalities while preventing the misuse of state resources for narrow political gains.
