Morocco operates as a constitutional monarchy with an elected parliamentary government. The King of Morocco serves as the head of state, holding significant powers, including the appointment of the Prime Minister and other key officials. However, the 2011 constitutional reforms granted more authority to the elected government, particularly the Prime Minister. The Parliament is bicameral, consisting of the House of Representatives (lower house) and the House of Councillors (upper house). Members of the House of Representatives are elected by proportional representation, while the House of Councillors includes representatives from various regional councils, professional chambers, labor syndicates, and employers’ organizations.

The Prime Minister is the head of government and is appointed from the political party that wins the most seats in the House of Representatives. The government is responsible for implementing domestic and foreign policies. While Morocco has a multi-party system, political power is still influenced by the monarchy. The judiciary is independent, and the King presides over the Superior Council of the Judiciary. Morocco’s political structure reflects a unique balance between the monarchy and elected institutions, with ongoing efforts to enhance democratic practices and address socio-economic challenges.
