Morocco's ruling coalition factions are the political parties that currently form the government, including the National Rally of Independents (RNI), which is loyal to the king, and other coalition partners.
Morocco's opposition parties include the Justice and Development Party (PJD), the only Islamist party that has been in government but is now in opposition, as well as various left-wing parties that have been divided for years.
The country operates under a multi-party system, with the PJD polling strongly in urban areas and the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) dominating rural areas, while smaller parties tend to be unstable.
The conflict between the ruling coalition factions and the opposition parties stems from their competing interests ahead of the 2026 parliamentary elections.
The ruling coalition partners are turning on each other as the election approaches, highlighting internal divisions within the ruling bloc, while opposition parties seek to challenge the government's dominance.
Left-wing parties are moving toward an electoral alliance after years of division, aiming to present a united front against the ruling coalition.
The opposition's effectiveness has historically been limited by lower voter turnout and regime interference, which has kept parliament and opposition parties weak.
The stakes are high as the elections approach, with the political landscape shaped by a hybrid system where the monarchy plays a central role.
The Brookings article notes that empowering the king's loyalist party, RNI, could potentially empower more radical elements, indicating the delicate balance of power.
The upcoming elections will determine the composition of parliament and the direction of Morocco's political future, making the internal conflicts and opposition alliances particularly significant.
