RABAT, Morocco — An Islamist party is on track to become the largest party in Morocco’s parliament with a dominant showing after two-thirds of the seats were announced by the Interior Ministry on Saturday.
The Justice and Development Party has taken 80 seats, almost twice as many as the next most successful party, with 282 seats announced out of the 395 up for grabs in the nationwide vote a day earlier.
Barring a massive upset, the PJD — known by its French initials — will be the largest party in the parliament and charged with forming a new government — making another Islamist victory in an election brought about by the Arab Spring.
