Ahmed Al-Touizi, a leader in the Authenticity and Modernity Party and the parliamentary majority’s candidate, was elected as the new Speaker of the House of Representatives for the legislative term (2026–2031) after receiving 220 votes, defeating his opposition rival Idris Al-Azmi Al-Idrissi, a leader in the Justice and Development Party, who received 59 votes. The secret ballot took place during a plenary session chaired by Abdelaziz Aba in his capacity as interim presiding officer; a total of 369 votes were cast, including 279 valid votes and 90 invalid votes.

This election was held in accordance with the provisions of Article 62 of the Constitution and the Council’s rules of procedure to restructure the lower house, following the new political landscape resulting from the September 23 elections. This coincided with the assignment of the Council presidency to the party that led the results with 97 seats to ensure harmony with the new government headed by Fatima Al-Zahra Al-Mansouri, amid a new political landscape that saw the National Rally of Independents join the ranks of the opposition.
