The facts
The newly appointed ministers were sworn in before the king on 16 October, the Foreign Ministry's official composition statement confirms. [1][2]
The cabinet replaced the government led by Aziz Akhannouch from 2021 to 2026, the African Press Agency reported. [2]
The governing majority comprises PAM, Istiqlal, the Socialist Union of Popular Forces and the Party of Progress and Socialism. Their reported 97, 65, 26 and 19 seats total 207 in the 395-member House of Representatives. [2][3]
The earlier coalition agreement was reported on 13 October. The later cabinet appointment establishes the outcome; it is not an unresolved coalition negotiation or an appointment made today. [1][2][3]
