Morocco Appoints Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri as Head of Government
Published
At the end of September 2026, King Mohammed VI of Morocco appointed Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri as head of government. The ceremony took place at the Royal Palace, where the sovereign entrusted her with the task of leading the country's government.
The appointment was presented as an important event for Moroccan politics. Morocco is a constitutional monarchy, so the king plays a central role in choosing the head of government, although the government must then win the confidence of Parliament.
According to the press that followed the news, the choice has also drawn attention for its symbolic significance. Some commentators have described it as a message aimed at those in the Islamic world who support a more traditional view of the role of women in public life. The information available on this point, however, is not yet complete.
For now, the government led by El Mansouri will have to address the priorities set by the king and the coalition parties. The names of the ministers and the work programme of the new executive will become clear in the coming days.
