Fouzi Lekjaa, the Minister Delegate for Budget and President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, arrived this morning, Saturday, at the Conference Hall in Al-Walija in the city of Sal\u00e9, the venue for the thirty-second session of the National Council of the Authenticity and Modernity Party, in a Moroccan-made car of the “Neo Motors” model, driven by the party leader and Minister of Youth, Culture, and Communication, Mohammed Mehdi Ben Said.<\/p>\n
The moment of the duo’s arrival witnessed a gathering of journalists and photographers at the entrance of the hall, where cameras captured the scene, which observers considered a clear political signal of the closeness between the two men and Lekjaa’s official joining of the \u201ctractor\u201d party.<\/p>\n
The \u201cNeo Motors\u201d vehicle is produced by a company in which Mehdi Ben Said holds a large share, adding an additional symbolic aspect to the arrival related to national products.<\/p>\n
Lekjaa\u2019s attendance at this important party session officially announces his joining the Authenticity and Modernity Party, a prominent political step that comes less than two months before the legislative elections scheduled for September 23, 2026. According to informed sources, this joining came after an agreement reached by Lekjaa earlier this month during a meeting with Fatima Zahra Mansouri, the National Coordinator for the Collective Leadership of the party, which stipulates his joining the ranks of “PAM,” his appointment as a member of the political bureau, and the party’s endorsement for him to participate in the legislative elections in the Berkan constituency.<\/p>\n
The thirty-second session of the National Council represents an essential organizational and political milestone in the party’s agenda, as it includes speeches from leaders, presentation and discussion of the electoral program, and strengthening party structures in preparation for upcoming elections. Attracting a personality like Fouzi Lekjaa, who combines governmental experience and great sporting success at the helm of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, as well as membership in FIFA and CAF bodies, is viewed as a qualitative addition that enhances the party’s chances in the race to lead the political scene and the government.<\/p>\n
Lekjaa’s name has been prominently mentioned in recent weeks in political and media circles regarding the possibility of his entry into the party arena, despite his earlier denial (June 2026) of any current affiliation with any party. This official announcement today represents a significant shift reflecting the desire of both parties to strengthen their ranks just a few months before the legislative elections.<\/p>\n
Observers of the political scene are awaiting the outcomes of the National Council’s convening regarding organizational decisions, especially concerning the strengthening of collective leadership and the integration of new faces, foremost among them Fouzi Lekjaa, who is viewed as a political “joker” capable of making a difference in the Berkan constituency and at the national level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
