Behind the scenes of the formation of the government headed by Fatima Al-Zahra Al-Mansouri, there were decisive and unexpected developments. There was great anticipation at the Authenticity and Modernity Party headquarters as the media gathered to follow the announcement of the majority, before the anticipated press conference was suddenly canceled and replaced with the release of an official written statement and a group photo of the four leaders.

This delay and cancellation stemmed from last-minute disagreements related to the insistence of the First Secretary of the Socialist Union, Idris Lashkar, to refusing to assign ministerial portfolios to former Union members who had left the party—a stance supported by members of the Political Bureau to ensure the independence of organizational decision-making.

Despite these tensions, the official statement finalized the agreement among the four parties that constitute the official governing majority: the Authenticity and Modernity Party, the Independence Party, the Socialist Union, and the Progress and Socialism Party.

This government relies on a direct parliamentary majority of 207 deputies, which rises to 232 with the support of the Constitutional Union Party and the Social Democratic Movement through “critical support” from outside the government.

As for the legislature, a plenary session will be held on Tuesday to elect the Speaker of the House of Representatives, amid a strong trend toward supporting the Authenticity and Modernity Party’s candidate for the presidency of the lower house.
