The PJD's Reckoning in Morocco: A Test of Leadership and Authenticity The fall of the Justice and Development Party (PJD) from its once prominent position as Morocco's main political force is a stark reminder that even the most entrenched parties can lose their way.
The party's dramatic defeat in 2021, where it lost a staggering 112 seats, marked a turning point for the PJD and its leader, Abdelilah Benkirane.
The PJD rose to power after Morocco's 2011 protests, promising reform and greater accountability.
