Preliminary results of the legislative elections in the Souss Massa region showed a remarkable advance for the Independence Party, which, according to data circulating as of the early hours of Thursday, managed to win local parliamentary seats in six electoral districts, pending the final decision in the Agadir Ida Outanane district.
According to the preliminary results, the Independence Party topped the districts of Tata, Inezgane Ait Melloul, Taroudant South, Taroudant North, Tiznit, and then Chichaoua Ait Baha, a tally reflecting a strong presence for the party in a number of the region's provinces.
The Agadir Ida Outanane district remains the last prominent station awaiting a decision, amid the ongoing process of collecting and sorting minutes, with competition among several parties for the four seats allocated to the district.
Previous preliminary data had shown the Justice and Development Party in the lead, followed by the National Rally of Independents, then the Authenticity and Modernity Party, with the ranking continuing to change as votes are tallied.
