Morocco has had a multi-party system since independence in 1956 with numerous parties ranging in ideology from the far-left to Islamists. The Moroccan electoral system leads the political parties to seek coalition governments. However, the Prime Minister appointed by the King from the party that achieved a plurality in the parliamentary elections, and four other main cabinet ministers are appointed by the King of Morocco.[1]
Since Morocco considers the disputed territory of Western Sahara to be its Southern Provinces, the political parties are also active in those parts of the territory administered by Morocco.[2]
