Fouzi Lekjaa: PAM electoral programme is a “contract with Moroccans”

Fouzi Lekjaa says the Authenticity and Modernity Party’s (PAM) electoral programme represents a commitment to Moroccan citizens and would allow voters to hold the party accountable for its promises if it wins the 23 September elections.

Lekjaa, a member of the PAM political bureau, outlined the considerations behind the development of the programme in a video published by the party on its social media platforms.

He said considerable time had been devoted to preparing the programme, which he described as covering the main issues facing citizens and serving as a genuine agreement between the party and the people.

According to Lekjaa, the programme would not simply be a list of election promises. If PAM emerges as the leading party in the elections, Moroccans would be able to monitor how its commitments are implemented and assess the party’s performance against the programme.

The PAM member said the programme had been developed using national and international indicators, while also taking into account views expressed directly by citizens across the country.

He pointed to listening meetings organised by the party in different regions of the Kingdom as an important part of the process. The observations and recommendations gathered during those meetings were considered in the preparation of the electoral programme.

Lekjaa also reflected on PAM’s participation in the current government, saying the party was proud of the role it had played and the results achieved during its time in government.

He noted that this was the first time PAM had participated in a government and said his assessment of that experience was positive.

That assessment, he explained, was particularly linked to the range of measures adopted across different sectors during the government’s tenure.

The comments come as PAM prepares for the 23 September elections, with the party presenting its electoral programme as a commitment that citizens will be able to scrutinise if it secures victory.

Lekjaa stressed the importance of accountability, arguing that Moroccans should be able to assess whether the commitments contained in the programme are being delivered.

His remarks also highlighted the process used to prepare the party’s electoral proposals, with national and international indicators combined with feedback gathered from citizens during meetings held across Morocco.

For PAM, the programme therefore represents both the party’s political vision and a commitment to voters. Lekjaa said its implementation would remain open to public scrutiny should the party emerge on top in the elections.

The party has also used its experience in the current government as part of its assessment, with Lekjaa emphasising the measures adopted during its first participation in government and describing the experience as a positive one.
