Morocco Appoints Fatima Zahra Mansouri as First Woman Prime Minister
Morocco's King Mohammed VI appointed Fatima Zahra Mansouri as the country's first woman prime minister following the September 2026 parliamentary elections. Mansouri, a 50-year-old lawyer and former mayor of Marrakech, leads the Authenticity and Modernity Party, which won the most seats but lacks an outright majority. She has been tasked with forming a coalition government focused on tackling inflation, job creation, and managing investments related to the 2030 FIFA World Cup. Mansouri is the second woman to hold a prime ministerial post in the Arab world.
