Fatima Zahra El Mansouri sets out plan for Moroccan government consultations

Fatima Zahra El Mansouri has said she will begin consultations aimed at proposing the composition of a new Moroccan government.

The process will start within the Authenticity and Modernity Party, with internal discussions preceding talks with other political parties.

El Mansouri said she would then consult those parties before putting forward a proposed government lineup. Her remarks outlined a sequence for the discussions rather than a completed agreement.

The statement did not specify a timetable or identify prospective ministers. It also did not confirm a formal appointment as head of government, so it does not establish that she has become the first woman to hold that post in Morocco.
