(AP Photo)AP Prime Minister and leader of the Islamist Justice and Development Party, known as the PJD, Abdelilah Benkirane casts his ballot at a polling station for the parliamentary elections, in Rabat, Morocco. Its closest rival, the Party of Authenticity of Modernity, won 80 seats, followed by several other parties. The results suggest no single party will have a majority, meaning the winner will likely have to form a coalition government. The party faced tough competition from the Party of Authenticity and Modernity (PAM), widely regarded as close to the palace.
