  "account": "Morocco's King Mohammed VI has appointed Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri as the country's first female prime minister, following her center-left party's victory in the September 23, 2026 parliamentary election. The 45-year-old El Mansouri, a lawyer and former housing minister and mayor of Marrakech, is expected to negotiate a coalition and form the new government. Morocco's constitution requires the king to appoint the head of government from the party that secured the most seats in the House of Representatives. El Mansouri's appointment marks a significant milestone, aligning with the Royal Family's commitment to fostering women's participation in public life and decision-making processes.",
