Islamist PJD party wins Morocco poll

Quote:
Morocco's moderate Islamist Justice and Development Party (PJD) has won parliamentary elections, say officials.

According to provisional results, the PJD won 80 seats in the 395-seat assembly, Interior Minister Taib Cherkaoui told a news conference.

That would make it the largest party and give it the right to lead a government.

The poll is part of reforms which King Mohamed VI hopes will defuse protests prompted by the Arab Spring.
