Prime Minister of Morocco

The Prime Minister of Morocco, officially the Head of Government (Arabic: رئيس الحكومة, Standard Moroccan Tamazight: ⴰⵏⵙⵙⵉⵅⴼ ⵏ ⵜⵏⴱⴰⴹⵜ), is the head of government of the Kingdom of Morocco. Since the adoption of the 2011 Constitution, the head of government is appointed by the king of Morocco from the political party that wins the largest number of seats in the House of Representatives, usually the general secretary of that party.

The Constitution grants executive authority to the government, under the leadership of the head of government, who is responsible for coordinating government action. The head of government proposes the appointment of government members and may request their dismissal, oversees the implementation of public policies, and supervises the administration and the delivery of public services. The head of government may also dissolve the lower house of parliament, subject to approval by the king.

Following appointment, the head of government forms the cabinet through consultations with political parties represented in parliament. The government must then obtain the confidence of the House of Representatives before assuming office.

Morocco operates under a constitutional monarchy in which the king remains head of state and retains significant executive, military, religious, and judicial powers. Unlike in presidential systems, executive authority is shared between the monarch and the government.

Since 7 October 2021, the incumbent head of government has been Aziz Akhannouch.
