Morocco s Justice and Development Party, which heads the government coalition, lost a key stronghold last week in the Errachidia district.
The party, which is affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood branch in Morocco, ranked third after the Socialist Union of Popular Forces (USFP) and the National Rally of Independents (RNI). The defeat comes months before municipal and legislative elections, which are scheduled for the second half of this year, are held.
