First woman to head the government: this one isn't a balwara

We give history its due. Then we start the counter.

The news

Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri, former mayor of Marrakech, was appointed Head of Government on 29 September 2026. She is the first woman to hold the post in Morocco, after her party came first with 97 seats.

Her programme won the confidence of the House of Representatives on 22 October 2026, the day the promise counter started on Balwara.

The commentary

Satirical opinion from the editors

No joke here. A first is a first, and the country has every right to be glad of it.

The jokes are coming, on the same scales for everyone: 16 promises on the counter, and history doesn't only write the first day, it writes the last one too.
