  "account": "Morocco appointed Fatima Zahra Mansouri as its first female prime minister following her center-right party's victory in the recent parliamentary elections. The appointment came after Mansouri's party, Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), secured 97 out of 395 seats in the House of Representatives. King Mohammed VI tasked Mansouri with forming the next government. She previously served as mayor of Marrakesh for six years, first in 2009 and again in 2021. Mansouri expressed pride in becoming the country's first female prime minister and emphasized the need to address voter concerns such as inflation, wages, and job creation. She noted that the next year will be significant and come with high expectations, particularly from younger generations. Mansouri has been a member of PAM since 2008 and is one of the party's top leaders.",
