Spain – Morocco
Abdelilah Bekirane, leader of the Justice and Development Party (PJD, moderate Islamist) and prime minister since 2011, still has not been able to form a government.
In the October 2016 elections, the PJD won with a majority insufficient to govern alone. Bekirane proposed maintaining the outgoing coalition, a heterogeneous alliance of four parties, including Islamists, liberals, and former communists. However, Aziz Akhannouch, leader of the National Rally of Independents, has refused to form a coalition, making demands that are difficult for Benkirane to accept, such as excluding the Independence Party, one of his main allies, from the government, and including two other parties that would completely dilute the PJD's position. This is the first time in recent history that Morocco has been without a government for so long, although the situation has had very little impact on the functioning of institutions and the daily lives of the population. All indications are that Bekirane will be replaced by another member of his party in the task of forging a new coalition.
