The Moroccan government has renewed pledge to build a modern and democratic society, in accordance with King Mohammed’s guidelines, reported the official Maghrebe Arab Presse (MAP).  

The government has started working on outstanding projects, including the working out of a suitable frame for the effective practice of individual and public freedoms to help in the emergence of a politically qualified Moroccan society, said Premier Abderrahmane Youssoufi at a government council he chaired in Rabat.  

The emergence of such a society goes through the holding of free and honest elections based on a democratic representation of the political forces, Youssoufi said. 

“This requires necessary reforms of the electoral code,” said the prime minister.  

He announced in this respect that a draft law amending the electoral code will be submitted shortly to the government council – Albawaba.com
