Key figures from Morocco’s left-leaning political scene convened in Rabat on June 30th, hosted by the Abderrahim Bouabid Foundation, to discuss the upcoming 2026 legislative elections. Mohamed Achaari, Nabil Benabdellah, and Abdessalam El Aziz jointly advocated for pre-election commitments focused on core issues. These include bolstering civil liberties, addressing conflicts of interest within government, strengthening public services, and promoting normalization efforts. The leaders aim to transform the 2026 elections from a simple competition for seats into a meaningful exercise focused on substantive policy. They believe a pact outlining these commitments is crucial for restoring faith in the electoral process. The discussion signals a push for a more principle-based campaign and a rejection of business-as-usual politics. This initiative hopes to redefine the elections’ purpose beyond mere seat acquisition.
