His appointment came just 20 days after the appointment, by His Majesty the King, of Saad Eddine El Othmani as the Head of the Executive, in place of Abdelilah Benkirane. The new government structure, unveiled at the Royal Palace in Rabat last Wednesday, calls for several reflections linked both to the number of ministers, their political color, as well as the feminine presence and the new faces. In fact, Mr. El Othmani's team consists of 39 members. Almost as much as the government II of Abdelilah Benkirane, which had 40 ministers. But compared to the government of Benkirane I (30 ministers), the team of El Othmani is rather plethoric. Another point concerns the ministries of sovereignty that have been maintained and attributed to seven technocrats."

The first exercise to be undertaken by the new team concerns the finalization of the government program on the basis of the draft prepared by a technical commission."
