Morocco's legistlative elections marked by record-low voter turnout

Morocco's legislative elections have seen a record-low voter turnout, with many citizens choosing not to participate in the democratic process. This low turnout may raise concerns about the legitimacy and representation of the new government, which is set to be formed with the centre-right Authenticity and Modernity Party taking a significant 95 seats in the 395-seat parliament. The outcome of this election could have implications for Morocco's economy and trade relationships, particularly in the context of its growing ties with the European Union.

Why it matters

The low voter turnout in Morocco's legislative elections may indicate a lack of confidence in the political system. This could lead to uncertainty and instability in the country's markets.
