00:00Morocco's ruling coalition has dominated the parliamentary elections marked by low turnout and a stronger showing from the Islamist opposition.
00:09But beyond the results, voters are focused on what comes next.
00:13Retired voter Abdelak Saidi welcomed the peaceful conduct of the election, saying polling stations were calm and free from tensions
00:21or incidents.
00:27Regarding the election I saw this morning on social media, thank God, everything went very well.
00:36Once again, the atmosphere at the polling stations was excellent with no tension or incidents whatsoever.
00:48The center-right, authenticity and modernity party won 97 seats but fell short of a majority and will now need
00:56coalition partners to form the next government.
01:01For students Ziyad Benaj, the results reflect voters' freedom to support the party of their choice.
01:14The results are fairly good because each citizen supported the party that suited them best, with everyone completely free to
01:22make their own choice.
01:23With turnout at just 38%, the new leadership faces a clear challenge, convincing young Moroccans that economic growth and major
01:32infrastructure projects will also translate into better public services, more jobs and relief from the rising cost of living.
