Casablanca-Settat: the region that makes majorities

With 69 seats, the Casablanca-Settat region alone outweighs the Kingdom's five smallest regions combined. Whoever controls Casablanca controls the national arithmetic: here is why, with the data — the full constituency breakdown is on the region's page.

69 seats — why?

Seat allocation across regions follows population. Casablanca-Settat, with its eight prefectures and provinces, concentrates nearly a sixth of the Moroccan electorate — and therefore 69 of the Chamber's 395 seats: 60 local constituencies and 9 regional lists.

Region	Seats	Leading party
Casablanca-Settat	69	PAM (15)
Rabat-Salé-Kénitra	49	PAM (11)
Fès-Meknès	47	PAM (12)
Marrakech-Safi	46	PAM (11)
Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma	37	PAM (9)
Béni Mellal-Khénifra	32	PAM (7)
Souss-Massa	28	Istiqlal (7)

The PAM–PJD duel

In 2026 the region delivered its verdict by the narrowest of margins: 15 seats for PAM, 14 for the PJD — with the RNI also at 14. The Islamist party keeps its historic strongholds in the dense, popular constituencies of the metropolis, while PAM dominates the suburban rings and the coast.

Casablanca does not elect a winner: it manufactures majorities. The region's 69 seats sat at the heart of October's negotiations, split between the governing coalition and a reconstituted opposition.

The region's full scoreboard

Casablanca-Settat's strength is its dispersion: twelve parties win at least one seat; none holds a hegemony.

Party	Seats
PAM	15
PJD	14
RNI	14
Istiqlal	9
UC	4
MP	3
FGD	2
MDS	2
PE	2
PPS	2
FFD	1
USFP	1

That dispersion is precisely the region's strategic value: every national political family finds seats here — and therefore a reason to negotiate.

What the region expects from the legislature

Three files structure Casablanca-Settat's local agenda:

1. The regional development plan. The region has a substantial budget of its own; its orientation — industry, logistics, services — will be arbitrated by the new regional majority.
2. Metropolitan transport. The Bus Rapid Transit trunk lines have been awaiting financing for two mandates.
3. Housing. Restructuring programmes for unregulated neighbourhoods depend on State-region conventions.

In a system where parliamentary weight dictates budgetary weight, Casablanca-Settat will play arbiter throughout the legislature. The region that makes majorities intends to collect on it.
