Morocco’s first female PM outlines ambitious agenda

Morocco’s new government will develop and implement an ambitious programme that responds to citizens’ expectations and addresses the country’s major challenges, in line with the royal guidelines set out by King Mohammed VI.

Head of Government Fatima Zahra Mansouri said during the press following the royal ceremony appointing the new government at the Royal Palace in Rabat on October 16. Mansouri said the government brings together four political parties with shared ideological foundations and overlapping policy priorities. 

She described the new coalition as a cohesive majority with a unified vision and a common programme of action, noting that its members had previously worked together from different positions. Mansouri said the appointment of the new government was an honour, adding that it brings together experienced and recognised professionals, alongside significant representation of women and young people.
