Faouzi Lekjaa Campaigns for PAM Ahead of Morocco Elections
Faouzi Lekjaa, the president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation and a member of the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), has been actively campaigning ahead of Morocco's legislative elections, scheduled for September. This election marks the first since protests led by young Moroccans in the fall of 2025.
On September 14, Lekjaa, alongside Mehdi Bensaid, the Minister of Youth, Culture and Communication, and other PAM candidates, visited Rabat to engage with residents. During the campaign, Lekjaa acknowledged the rising cost of living as a significant concern.
Initially, he was expected to run for a parliamentary seat in his home region of Berkane but later chose not to stand as a candidate, opting instead to support PAM's electoral efforts. The elections are particularly crucial as Morocco prepares to co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup with Spain and Portugal, with political parties aiming to attract young voters amidst ongoing issues like unemployment and public service quality.
