The House of Councillors will take up the government’s five-year program at a plenary sitting on Wednesday, two days after Head of Government Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri presented it before a joint session of Parliament.

According to a statement issued by the upper house, the sitting will begin at 11am under Article 88 of the Constitution and Article 271 of the House’s rules of procedure.

El Mansouri, who presented the program on Monday, pledged measures to create jobs, ease pressure on household budgets and improve public services during her government’s 2026-2031 term.

The program also promises expanded direct social assistance, better access to healthcare and education, and measures to narrow regional disparities, particularly for young people, rural communities and vulnerable households.
