Morocco has appointed its first female prime minister after she won the country’s elections, marking a significant change in the leadership of the government.
The appointment was made by the king, who formally named the newly elected leader to the post. Her selection makes her the first woman to serve as prime minister in Morocco.
She is also only the second woman to lead a government in the Arab world. The appointment therefore carries significance beyond Morocco, placing the country among those in the region to have appointed a woman to head its government.
The supplied information does not identify the prime minister by name or provide further details about the election result, her political programme or the next steps following her appointment.
