> Tensions inside Morocco’s governing coalition have surfaced as parties prepare for parliamentary elections. The National Rally of Independents, the Authenticity and Modernity Party and the Istiqlal Party are competing for votes, candidates and influence, while a leaked recording attributed to House Speaker Rachid Talbi Alami revealed a dispute over budget minister Fouzi Lekjaa. The official campaign starts on September 10, ahead of the September 23 vote.
