As Morocco’s legislative elections draw nearer, demands for a highway in the Draa-Tafilalet region are gaining renewed prominence. Residents, civil society groups, and economic actors are advocating for improved connectivity to the provinces of Ouarzazate, Er Rachidia, Tinghir, Zagora, and Midelt, aiming to end their relative isolation. This push is amplified by the impending elections, with citizens expressing frustration over unfulfilled promises from previous campaigns. The lack of progress on highway construction has become a key issue for voters. Activists are emphasizing the economic benefits a highway would bring to the region. The situation highlights the intersection of infrastructure development and political campaigning in Morocco. The issue is expected to remain central to public debate leading up to the vote.
