Progress and Socialism Party secures quorum for parliamentary group in Morocco’s House of Representatives

Reaching the legal quorum for forming the parliamentary group

The Progress and Socialism Party has officially succeeded in meeting the legal quorum required to form an autonomous parliamentary group within the House of Representatives. This follows the recruitment of a new MP from the New Democrats Party, bringing the total number of its members to 20 under the parliamentary dome.

Data on expected affiliations

According to field reports, the affiliation of the New Democrats Party member—known for the fingerprint symbol—enabled the “Book Party” to meet the numerical threshold mandated by the House’s internal regulations. In the same context, projections indicate the possible inclusion of two additional MPs representing the Front of Democratic Forces within the party’s parliamentary group in the coming days.

Context of partisan and legislative movements

It is noteworthy that the Progress and Socialism Party won 19 parliamentary seats in the latest legislative elections, marking a slight decline of three seats compared to the previous legislative term. These organizational arrangements and parliamentary maneuvers come as part of ongoing preparations for the start of the new parliamentary year and the opening of the first legislative session of the new term.
