The Moroccan Court of Auditors has determined that fourteen political parties remain indebted to the state for MAD 10.51 million. According to Hespress English, this debt stems from 2024 finances where funds were either unused, improperly received, or lacked proper documentation. The audit, released in November 2026, indicates that while 24 parties repaid MAD 47.69 million to the Treasury from 2022 through October 2026, substantial sums are still outstanding. The unpaid balance includes MAD 5.86 million for spending missing supporting papers and MAD 3.38 million for allocations that went unused.
Financial power is heavily concentrated in a few major organizations. Hespress English noted that the 26 parties filing 2024 accounts reported total resources of MAD 131.81 million, with nine groups controlling 94% of that sum. The National Rally of Independents led with MAD 45.99 million, ahead of the Authenticity and Modernity Party and the Istiqlal Party. State funding amounted to MAD 65.84 million, which was 46% of the MAD 142 million budgeted annually.
State aid was not distributed across all registered groups. As the document excerpt states, "Only 17 of Morocco’s 33 registered political parties received state support." Internal party resources hit MAD 65.97 million, a 48% jump from 2023, fueled by membership fees and official contributions. Total spending climbed to MAD 123.81 million, up from MAD 91.37 million the prior year, with operating costs making up 73% of that total.
Compliance with financial reporting standards was inconsistent. Hespress English reported that just 26 out of 33 registered parties filed their annual accounts, with 19 receiving clean audit opinions. Auditors found documentation gaps affecting MAD 9.95 million in spending across 19 parties. However, they concluded that public funds for operations and congresses were generally used as intended. The court urged parties to clear their debts and asked the Interior Ministry to create uniform accounting rules to enhance financial oversight.
