Rabat, Morocco (TMT)- In an unexpected twist in the tail, and only few days following the president of the PJD parliamentarians group in the parliament, Abdellah Bouanou describing a draft law aiming to lower the electoral threshold from 6% to 3% as an effort from some elements to weaken the PJD party, “a move aimed to balkanize the Moroccan political scene,” the PJD party flip-flopped and decided to adopt the Ministry of Interior’s draft law.

Saadeddine Othmani, president of the National Council of the PJD party told Moroccan news outlet Le360 today that,”We have officially adopted these bills, which will be approved shortly by the Government and then submitted to the Parliament.”

This U-turn remains unclear and very ambiguous.
