As the race for the 2026 elections heats up, political parties are doing whatever it takes to boost their chances of winning. Some are joining forces through coalitions, while others are banking on the Ramadan basket to win over voters as the holy month approaches. <\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, a few parties are tempting candidates with shaky alliances and shifting political loyalties, hoping to strengthen their position before election day.<\/span><\/p>\n Parties swap and loyalties shift<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some leaders from the ruling government coalition have begun early moves to lure well-known political figures into their ranks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Hespress Sources say that a prominent local mayor from the outskirts of Tangier has been approached by two different coalition parties, both eager to get him to run under their banner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Similarly, a regional parliamentary advisor has been contacted about switching parties due to growing tensions with his current party, which he won his seat with.<\/span><\/p>\n Some big names in the region, from different ruling coalition parties, are unsure about running in the upcoming elections. This has kicked off an early race as parties start searching for the strongest candidates to back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima area has always been a hotspot for election battles, with politicians regularly switching parties before each election.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The region is also famous for political \u201cjumping,\u201d where politicians frequently change their party allegiance, making it a key battleground.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This early wave of political maneuvering is expected to grow in the coming months as parties try to secure the best candidates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ramadan baskets and vote hunting<\/b><\/p>\n Ramadan isn\u2019t being left out of the election race with some local officials using \u201cRamadan baskets\u201d to boost their political chances, according to Hespress sources.<\/span><\/p>\n These baskets, meant to help people in need during Ramadan, are being used by politicians to gain support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Local leaders are pressuring business owners and developers to donate food items, which are then handed out to carefully chosen people, often those who are more likely to vote for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The distribution is often handled by associations linked to the politicians, raising suspicions of using charity for votes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Despite rules meant to stop this kind of exploitation, many local councils are still finding ways around it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Investigations are underway to check if these practices are happening on a larger scale, with some associations even storing food in warehouses owned by the politicians themselves. This shows how some are turning charity into a tool for election success.<\/span><\/p>\n Parties unite for more chances:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n For smaller parties, teaming up is their go-to move to boost their chances in the elections, with coalitions being a common move before the elections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s exactly what happened with the Popular Movement Party, the Liberal Moroccan Party, and the National Democratic Party. They\u2019ve formed a new alliance called \u201cThe Popular Coalition,\u201d hoping to offer a fresh political option and restore trust in Morocco\u2019s political scene.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Their plan covers 13 main goals, including improving the economy, promoting social peace, and fighting corruption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n They also seek to focus on issues like supporting people with disabilities and retirees, as well as boosting Morocco\u2019s image on the international stage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The leaders involved say this is about bringing real change, not just securing more power for themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n Political expert Idriss El Guenbouri told Hespress Eng that it\u2019s common to see these kinds of party movements in Morocco well before elections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n According to him, this shows a desire to win elections rather than a real shift in how these parties engage with voters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Focusing on party alliances has become a tradition in Morocco since the Democratic Bloc in the early 1990s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHowever, back then, the bloc had a clear project, like constitutional reform. In contrast, today\u2019s alliances are just temporary election pacts without real projects,\u201d the analyst said.<\/span><\/p>\n These alliances, he added, are more about trying to make up for failures in competing with other parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Rephrase in a different way as if you were a native American speaker as a content creation expert and do not talk about yourself or your experience in the text and do not show yourself as an artificial intelligence who wrote and fill the bullet point in the topic and speak the heart of the topic itself and dont take date of blog in ther first and dont take text like box of newsliter subscribe on post from contentand romove all linke insert in content and and remove all affiliate disclosure phrases on content like this “This post may contain Amazon or other affiliate links that allow us to earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
