HIBAPRESS – A. Mahyaoui
HIBAPRESS has learned from informed sources that the regional secretariat of the Popular Movement Party in Khénifra province has resorted to the Administrative Court in Fez, through its defense, to demand the stripping of a number of elected officials of their membership, in the context of their appearance in communication gatherings related to the legislative elections alongside other political parties.
According to the available data, the regional secretariat of the party submitted a request to strip five party officials and elected members, including the leaders of local groups in Khénifra province, of their membership. These include the leaders of the groups of Bouhssoussen, Moulay Bouazza, Tighsalin, and Sebt Aït Rahou, in addition to Benasser Azkaag, the sixth vice-president of the Béni Mellal-Khénifra region and a member of the political bureau of the Popular Movement Party.
According to the same sources, the Administrative Court in Fez has set today, Thursday, September 24th, as a date to consider the lawsuit, pending the decisions that will result from the judicial procedure.
This step comes in the context of the interactions witnessed in the political arena in Khénifra province during the election campaign period, especially regarding the positions of some politically affiliated elected officials and their appearance in activities and communication gatherings alongside other candidates or parties.
The Popular Movement Party had previously pursued the same judicial path concerning the secretary of the Ain Chqaf group council in the province of Moulay Yaâcoub, in the context of his candidacy for the legislative elections in the name of the Progress and Socialism Party, where the Administrative Court in Fez is expected to consider the file according to the specified timelines for the judicial procedure.
The final decision in these cases remains with the administrative judiciary, which will rule on the availability of the legal conditions related to the stripping requests, in accordance with the provisions of the current legislation.
