Saturday in Sale

Le360 treats Fouzi Lekjaa’s entry into the party’s governing bodies as settled. His standing as Minister Delegate for the Budget opens the Political Bureau to him automatically, two months before the legislative elections of September 23.

The caution of Medias24

The business outlet recalls that no official announcement has confirmed the membership, quoting the statement he made to it in June: “If tomorrow I decide to exercise my constitutional right to join this or that party, to stand in the legislative elections, to join a party, I will announce it myself.”

The seat nobody has vacated

President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation since April 2014, Lekjaa saw his third term expire without a successor: the general assembly of June 5 referred the presidential election to September, leaving him in office until then.

Law 30.09 leaves him a path to a fourth term, since it permits a federation president who sits on continental or international bodies to remain in place. He sits on the FIFA Council as well as in the CAF vice-presidency.

What social media has already written

Social media, for its part, did not wait: it crowns the former international Houssine Kharja and buries a presidency nobody has declared vacant.

September will settle both questions, since Morocco votes on the 23rd and the federation elects its president.
