In Dakhla, PAM signals its strategy around El Khattat Yanja

This update focuses on PAM Dakhla elections. Less than three weeks before Morocco’s legislative elections, the Authenticity and Modernity Party chose Dakhla to send a strong political message from the southern provinces.

PAM Dakhla elections: a show of strength in the South

The party’s leadership met in Dakhla on Saturday for a large communication rally that drew, according to organisers, several thousand participants. The goal was clear: underline PAM’s presence in the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab region and publicly support the president of the regional council, El Khattat Yanja, a member of the party’s political bureau.

Addressing the crowd, Fatima Zahra El Mansouri, national coordinator of the collegial leadership, stressed the central role of the southern provinces in the party’s strategy. She presented this collective presence in Dakhla as proof of the importance PAM gives to the region.

For Moroccans living abroad with roots in Dakhla-Oued Eddahab, or investments there, the rally offers a snapshot of the local political landscape ahead of the vote. It also shows which priorities a key majority party is putting forward in a territory undergoing fast change.

Dakhla promoted as an emerging economic and tourism hub

In her speech, Fatima Zahra El Mansouri focused on the rapid transformation of the region in recent years. She described Dakhla as a rising economic hub and a tourism centre whose influence now extends beyond Moroccan borders.

For Moroccans abroad planning a return, a property purchase or a business project in the South, this narrative echoes what is already visible on the ground: growing tourism, new infrastructure projects and rising interest in the Atlantic coastline.

Without announcing specific new projects, the PAM official insisted on the idea of steady development, driven by public and private investment. She also linked this story of progress to the action of PAM ministers within the current government.

• Highlighting Dakhla’s economic transformation
• Projecting a message of political stability and continuity
• Stressing the intention to defend the region’s interests

For Moroccans abroad, these signals may matter when considering medium-term investments, even if concrete details will still have to be checked through official channels and competent administrations.

Clear support for El Khattat Yanja

At the heart of this sequence, the PAM Dakhla elections are above all about backing El Khattat Yanja. El Mansouri praised what she described as his “serious work”, “long-term vision” and determination to defend the region’s interests.

She also returned to the context in which El Khattat Yanja joined PAM, saying she wanted to dispel any ambiguity about this political move. Without going into detail, she underlined that the decision was considered and based on converging objectives.

In a campaign context, the national coordinator sought to mobilise supporters around the track record of the party’s ministers and a pledge for the next term. She thanked the many attendees, portraying their presence as a sign of trust in PAM in the region.

For Moroccans abroad, this step confirms that Dakhla-Oued Eddahab will remain at the centre of political discourse in the coming years. The concrete developments to watch now concern public policies on land, investment, public services and transport links, all of which directly affect plans to return or travel regularly between Morocco and the countries of residence.

While waiting for the election results and future government decisions, Moroccans living abroad who are eyeing Dakhla will need to compare these party statements with information published by official institutions and administrative platforms dedicated to the Moroccan community overseas.
