Rabat, July 22, 2013 (MAP)
King Mohammed VI received, on Monday, from the head of government, the resignations of several ministers, members of the Istiqlal Party, which he accepted, said a statement by the royal office.
“HM the King charged the resigning ministers to dispose of day-to-day matters until the appointment of new ministers and allow the head of government to begin his consultations in order to form a new majority,” the same source said.
On Monday July 8, the executive committee of the IP decided to implement its suspended decision to withdraw from the PJD-led government and join the opposition.
The decision came after Hamid Chabat, the party’s secretary General, made a phone call with King Mohammed VI to inform him of his party’s final decision to withdraw from the government after what he described as “desperate” attempts to avoid this outcome.
