Constitutional Union Party Backs El Qadri in Berrechid District

The Constitutional Union Party has officially selected Tarek El Qadri as its candidate for the upcoming legislative elections in the Berrechid constituency, located in the Casablanca-Settat region.

El Qadri, a significant figure in Moroccan politics, previously held a prominent leadership role within the Independence Party and served as a key official in the House of Representatives' bureau. His recent move to the Constitutional Union, often referred to by its "Horse" symbol, is seen as a strategic reinforcement of the party's presence in the region.

The party is placing considerable hope on El Qadri's candidacy to secure a parliamentary seat and boost its overall seat count in the region. Political circles in Berrechid anticipate that El Qadri's nomination under the Constitutional Union banner will significantly heighten electoral competition. This is attributed to his extensive local connections and established presence in the political landscape, particularly given his prior role as president of the Berrechid commune before his removal.

Furthermore, the influence of his brother, Fouad El Qadri, who was a regional coordinator for the Independence Party and remains a parliamentary advisor under that party, is also noted. The move of the El Qadri family to the Constitutional Union is expected to disrupt the strategies of other political contenders and potentially impact the Independence Party's prospects. Reports suggest they will mobilize support from local leaders and elected officials, including disgruntled members from other political organizations, to join the Constitutional Union.
