Electoral Conflict in Tiznit: RNI Candidate Seeks Legal Recourse

Judicial escalation at the heart of the Tiznit election campaign

In a move reflecting the intensifying electoral competition in the Tiznit district, Abdallah Ghazi, regional coordinator of the National Rally of Independents (RNI) and head of his party’s list for the upcoming legislative elections, has decided to pursue legal action in response to a recent digital campaign targeting him.

“Dangerous” content drags Facebook into court

This action follows the filing of a formal complaint by Ghazi with the King’s Prosecutor at the Court of First Instance in Tiznit, regarding content published on a Facebook page described as “dangerous.” According to the complaint, which includes a detailed report, the posts exceed the bounds of political criticism to reach the level of defamation and incitement, directly affecting stability and public order during a delicate phase of the electoral process.
