Rachid Talbi Alami, Speaker of the Moroccan House of Representatives, announced that in a voting held after the parliamentary session, Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch’s government received a vote of confidence from 213 of the 395 deputies in total.
Noting that 64 deputies expressed a negative opinion about the new coalition government in the voting, Alami stated that one of the deputies abstained from voting.

RNI leader Aziz Akhannouch announced on September 22 that his party agreed with the PAM and Istiqlal Party to form the new coalition.
