Morocco: When vote buying enters elections

In Morocco, some municipal presidents, candidates for succession during the October session, are accused of having started to buy the votes of certain elected officials to guarantee their re-election.

At the end of their mandate after their election in September 2021, some corrupt municipal presidents began to buy the votes of elected officials to re-enlist during the session scheduled for October. According to AssabahSome councillors are waiting for this deadline to replace the presidents of municipal councils “who have not pampered them financially or who have not satisfied their personal requests”.
