Morocco’s Interior Ministry made it official on Friday: the final results of the September 23, 2026 legislative elections have been confirmed, following the conclusion of vote-counting operations by provincial and regional commissions chaired by magistrates across every prefecture, province and region of the Kingdom.
According to the ministry’s communiqué, the certified figures match, seat for seat, the provisional results announced in the immediate aftermath of the vote. The Party of Authenticity and Modernity (PAM) holds onto its lead with 97 seats in the House of Representatives, ahead of the National Rally of Independents (RNI) with 66 seats and the Istiqlal Party with 65.
The Justice and Development Party (PJD) rounds out the top four with 54 seats, a result that confirms its gradual comeback on the political scene after earlier electoral setbacks. Behind them come the Popular Movement with 29 seats, the Socialist Union of Popular Forces with 26, the Party of Progress and Socialism with 19, and the Constitutional Union with 17. A cluster of smaller parties share the remaining mandates, including the Social Democratic Movement and a left-wing alliance, tied at eight seats apiece, down to single-seat outcomes for the smallest formations.
In total, 395 seats were distributed in an election that mobilized the country’s entire administrative and judicial machinery. Official tallies have been filed with the Constitutional Court in line with the organic law governing the House of Representatives, opening a window for candidates to file appeals within the legal deadlines set by that law.
The confirmation now sets the stage for negotiations over the shape of the next governing coalition. With a parliament split among several parties of comparable weight, talks between political formations are expected to intensify in the coming weeks, as any potential alliance will need an absolute majority to govern. One of the most closely watched contests in years, the election also drew sustained attention from domestic and international observers, at a time when the Kingdom continues to push forward a broad agenda of economic and social reform.
