Ahmed Abrija Takes the Helm of Casablanca-Settat Territorial Group
In a significant political development in Morocco, Ahmed Abrija, a member of the Moroccan Parliament and deputy president of the Casablanca-Settat Regional Council, has been elected as the new president of the Casablanca-Settat Territorial Group for distribution. This election took place on Thursday, October 29, 2026, where Abrija succeeded Nabila Ramili, who resigned from her position. The vote was notably decisive, with 109 out of 110 councilors from the Casablanca-Settat region supporting his candidacy. Only one councilor abstained from voting, highlighting the strong backing Abrija received from his peers.
The election session was held at the headquarters of the Casablanca-Settat region's governance, attended by the regional secretary-general. Interestingly, the election saw the absence of Halima Fikri, the candidate from the National Rally of Independents party, who did not participate due to her party's decision to boycott the election. This absence opened the door for Abrija's uncontested rise to leadership, showcasing the political dynamics within the region and the ongoing changes in local governance.
As the new president, Abrija is expected to face various challenges and opportunities in his new role, especially in light of the pressing issues surrounding urban development and community services in the Casablanca-Settat region. His leadership will be closely monitored by both supporters and critics alike as he embarks on this new chapter in his political career.
