2026 Elections: Development Stakes Dominate Vote in Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima

The Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region is preparing to elect its representatives to the House of Representatives in the 23 September vote.
A total of 29 seats are up for grabs in local constituencies and 8 in the regional constituency reserved for women's lists.
Parties are competing for voters across the eight northern provinces.
Analysts say voters' choices hinge on a candidate's social standing, economic approach and territorial fairness between provinces.
Key challenges include supporting major industrial and logistics projects, boosting investment appeal, creating lasting jobs for young people and aligning vocational training with the industrial hub's needs.
Future MPs will also be expected to push for narrowing gaps between major cities and rural or mountain areas.
