The political landscape in Guelmim, a key constituency in Morocco known as the gateway to the Sahara, is shifting as candidates begin to emerge for the upcoming 2026 legislative elections. The region is anticipating a fiercely contested race for its two allocated seats, having undergone significant electoral changes between the 2016 and 2021 polls. In the September 8, 2021 elections, the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) secured a leading position with 18,807 votes. This marked a change from previous electoral dynamics. The upcoming elections are expected to see a renewal of competition as parties strategize to capitalize on these shifts and vie for voter support in Guelmim. Details on the other parties involved remain forthcoming as the electoral process develops.
