Massive win for the royalists (the top two parties) and a big loss for the Islamists.

I think that’s a bit unfair considering the past two results though I don’t deny that elections in Morocco probably aren’t free and fair by Western standards.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the result Just having some fun at an imaginary count.

"hang on! the king is the returning officer! who appointed him?"

"He did, of course".

These elections clearly are unfair, undemocratic & invalid, taking place as they do in the shadow of the occupation & oppression of territories taken by force by this brutal military power. This is in clear violation of UN resolutions calling for political negotiations with a view to restoring political control to the rightful & now exiled inhabitants.

I will be joining with Jeremy Corbyn, Momentum, SWP et al in protesting against this the most important issue of our & any other generation.

Oh shit, sorry, wrong end of the Med & no Jews to slag off .... silly me, as you were.

For the record the preliminary or rather provisional result was announced by Abdelouafi Laftit is his capacity of minister of the Interior. He's listed with the equivalent of 'no description' on the French Wikipedia.

And at the time of writing the elections site still isn't displaying the result for me.

RNI is run by a billionaire businessman who was the Minister of Agriculture and whose wife is considered to be the fashion queen of the country.

While the elections site still seems to be screening, yabiladi¹ have published an article on regional turnout. The northern province of Tétouan had the lowest with 35,71% and the province of Chichaoua the highest one with 73%. It doesn't have a map, but there are quite a few numbers which on first impression seem to confirm the usual pattern of lower turnouts in metropolitain areas.

According to the BTL comments,  the results were announced at record pace this time.
