Political party in Morocco
The Constitutional Union (
Arabic : الاتحاد الدستوري ;
Standard Moroccan Tamazight : ⴰⵍⵉⵜⵜⵉⴰⴷ ⴰⴷⴷⵓⵔⵜⵓⵔⵉ , romanized: Tamunt Tamenḍawant ;
French : Union constitutionelle ) is a
political party in
Morocco aligned with the ruling
monarchy . The party has a history of
cooperating with two other parties with a liberal orientation, the
National Rally of Independents and the
Popular Movement , since 1993.
History
The grouping was founded by then Prime Minister
Maati Bouabid in 1983
[9]
[10] and favoured by King
Hassan II . In the
1984 parliamentary election , it won the greatest number of seats, but remained far from an absolute majority. Later it became an ordinary party without a special role in Morocco's multi-party system.
[11]
The party is a full member of
Liberal International , which it joined at the latter's Dakar Congress in 2003.
[12] Its
electoral symbol is a horse.
[13]
In the
parliamentary election held on 27 September 2002, the party won 16 out of 325 seats. In the next
parliamentary election , held on 7 September 2007, the party won 27 out of 325 seats.
[14] The party won 23 out of 325 seats in the
parliamentary election held in November 2011, being the seventh party in the parliament.
