RABAT (Reuters) – Morocco’s liberal RNI party has won most seats in the country’s parliamentary elections followed by PAM, while co-ruling moderate PJD Islamists came eighth, preliminary results showed.
RNI, led by billionaire agriculture minister Aziz Akhannouch, took 97 of the 395-seat parliament, followed by another liberal party, PAM, with 82 seats and the conservative Istiqlal with 78 seats.
The PJD had only taken 12 seats after a count of 96% of all parliamentary seats.
