Resignation of Two Members Marks Shift in Legislative Assembly
The Constitutional Court has officially declared the vacancy of two seats in the House of Representatives, previously held by Abdelmajid Fassi Fihri and Khalid Hatimi, following their resignations. This decision, issued on July 16, 2026, marks a significant moment in the legislative landscape of the country.
According to the announcement, documented under decision number 272/26 and case number 322/26, the Constitutional Court received a formal notification on July 15, 2026, from the Speaker of the House of Representatives. This letter informed the court about the resignation of the two deputies, accompanied by the necessary legal documents and formalities required for such actions.
The court elaborated that both Abdelmajid Fassi Fihri and Khalid Hatimi submitted their resignation letters to the Speaker on July 15, 2026. The resignation was subsequently acknowledged during an assembly meeting held on the same day. The court's ruling emphasized that these resignations came shortly after the conclusion of the second session of the legislative year, which wrapped up its activities on July 13, 2026. Consequently, this necessitated the Speaker's referral of the case to the Constitutional Court to determine the vacancies within the legally stipulated timeframe.
In alignment with the provisions of the constitution, the organic law relating to the Constitutional Court, the specific organic law governing the House of Representatives, and the internal regulations of the assembly, the court has officially declared the seats vacated by the resigning members. Furthermore, the Constitutional Court has mandated that copies of this decision be communicated to the Prime Minister, the Speaker of the House, and the involved parties, with a requirement for publication in the official gazette in accordance with the established legal procedures.
