The legislative elections held on Friday October 7, 2016 unfolded in normal, smooth conditions. Analysts explain this exceptional situation by the deep political reforms Morocco has embarked on under the leadership of King Mohammed VI, as the reforms have consolidated the country’s journey towards democracy. It was no coincidence that these parliamentary elections have been hailed by international observers as transparent, honest and free confirming Morocco’s irreversible march towards democracy. These elections are also reflective of the great democratic maturity of both political parties and voters, who have all contributed to the success of the legislative elections making Morocco a model and an exception in an uncertain regional environment. And the winner of these elections is unquestionably: Morocco which has shown again that it stands as a genuine pole of stability, under the leadership of King Mohammed VI.
