RABAT, Sept 24 (Reuters) - The Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) won the largest number of seats in Morocco's legislative election on Wednesday, followed by its partners in the outgoing government, RNI, and the Istiqlal party, according to official preliminary results.
The political party backed by Morocco’s football chief won the most seats in parliamentary elections, according to provisional results, putting it on track for the post of prime minister.
PAM is part of Morocco's outgoing ruling coalition and was founded by an adviser to the king. The moderate Islamist Justice and Development Party surged amid increasing voter apathy.
Morocco’s Authenticity and Modernity Party won the most seats in the country’s parliamentary election, taking 97 of 395 seats in the House of Representatives, according to final results announced by the Interior Ministry on Friday.
