HIBAPRESS – Politics
Idriss Essintissi, the former head of the Popular Movement parliamentary group in the House of Representatives, has announced his dissociation from the Popular Movement party, in a significant political move that comes in the context of early preparations for the upcoming legislative elections. The decision, which has not yet been issued in a detailed official organizational statement, reflects the existence of organizational differences and divergent visions regarding the management of the stage within the party, especially with the approach of the electoral deadlines and what it imposes of rearranging internal cards.
Information circulating in political circles indicates that Essintissi is preparing to run in the upcoming elections under the Istiqlal party in the city of Salé constituency, in a move that is seen as strengthening the strategy of attracting support pursued by the party, and Essintissi's quest to continue in the parliamentary scene from a new political position. This shift will deepen the dynamics of party repositioning that the Moroccan political scene is witnessing in anticipation of the 2026 elections.
