Her appointment marks a significant milestone in the country’s political history, making her the first woman to occupy the highest executive office in Morocco.
El Mansouri, who has built a career in law and public service, takes on the new responsibility at a time when Morocco continues to pursue reforms and economic development initiatives.
Her emergence as Prime Minister represents a notable development in the country’s political landscape and places her at the centre of national policymaking.
