Morocco Appoints First Female Prime Minister
Morocco has appointed Fatima Ezzahra El-Mansouri as head of government following the recent parliamentary election won by the Authenticity and Modernity Party.

Why it matters
The appointment of the first female prime minister fulfills a possibility discussed by the monarchy over three decades ago.

The center-right Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) leads provisional results in Morocco's parliamentary elections.
