El Otmani to Hold Meeting To Prepare for Special Session of Parliament

Today, Friday, February 26th, a special parliament session will be held under the chairmanship of Saad Dine El Otmani, Head of Moroccan Government.

A government communiqué stated that the Parliament will study a draft decree on inviting the House of Representatives and the House of Councilors to hold a special session of the Parliament.

Holding this Government Council comes days after the Ministerial Council approved, last February 11th, before His Majesty King Mohammed VI, a number of draft laws related to preparing for elections and ensuring social welfare for all.

The Ministerial Council approved four draft organic laws regulating these elections, related to developing rules of the electoral system, strengthening electoral guarantees, adjusting the rules for political parties to benefit from financial aid, creating electoral processes, and enhancing financial transparency for parties, all of which are projects that the Internal Committee of the House of Representatives is considering for future elections.
