AI analysis“Morocco’s Authenticity and Modernity Party took 97 of 395 seats in the House of Representatives”
Reasoning
All cited evidence—official Moroccan Interior Ministry results, parliamentary seat distribution page, Reuters, and BBC—state that the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) secured 87 seats out of 395. No source supports the claim of 97 seats, making the claim directly contradicted by reliable data.
On confidence: Multiple authoritative sources consistently report 87 seats, not 97
Important context
The Moroccan House of Representatives has 395 seats. In the 2021 parliamentary elections, PAM won 87 seats, making it the second‑largest party. The claim of 97 seats overstates the party's actual representation by ten seats.
