# King appoints the Akhannouch RNI–PAM–Istiqlal government

Date: 2021

## The fact

On 7 October 2021 King Mohammed VI appointed the members of [Aziz Akhannouch](/people/aziz-akhannouch)’s government at the Royal Palace in Fez. The coalition was RNI, PAM, and Istiqlal.

## Context

He had been designated on 10 September. Akwa Group remained the holding. The king is referenced, not reminted.

7 October 2021 cabinet. Stored as one 7 October 2021 Fact. Keep King appoints the Akhannouch RNI–PAM–Istiqlal government on 2021-10-07 separate from neighbouring 8 September 2021 election, 10 September 2021 designation, and 7 October 2021 cabinet appointment.

The Moroccan head of government can accept a royal appointment, form a coalition, and run a cabinet. He does not sit as the King, as Akwa Group’s every licence, or as parliament. A 7 October 2021 appointment is not authorship of every later fuel circular. Sharing a palace ceremony with the king is not a reason to drop 10 September 2021.

## Evidence and sources

Hespress carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is the owned billionaire-PM driver: a completed cabinet appointment of the energy-group owner.

## What is established and what is not

Established: The king appointed the government on 7 October 2021. He became head of government that day.

Not established: A unique later fuel-price integer as size, or a minted Akwa page.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Sharing the coalition with PAM and Istiqlal is not a reason to drop 7 October 2021.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies King appoints the Akhannouch RNI–PAM–Istiqlal government, not a later speech about King appoints the Akhannouch RNI–PAM–Istiqlal government.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. King appoints the Akhannouch RNI–PAM–Istiqlal government on 2021-10-07 is not a licence to treat every later Hespress communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average King appoints the Akhannouch RNI–PAM–Istiqlal government into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He accepted the premiership. Sharing the coalition with PAM and Istiqlal is not a reason to drop 7 October 2021. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
