# King appoints Akhannouch prime minister-designate after RNI win

Date: 2021

## The fact

On 10 September 2021 King Mohammed VI appointed [Aziz Akhannouch](/people/aziz-akhannouch) prime minister-designate of Morocco after RNI won a reported 102 of 395 seats. AP recorded a billionaire former agriculture minister.

## Context

The 8 September 2021 election unseated PJD. He was tasked to form a coalition.

10 September 2021 designation. Stored as one 10 September 2021 Fact. Keep King appoints Akhannouch prime minister-designate after RNI win on 2021-09-10 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. Associated Press records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is the owned billionaire-PM driver: a completed royal designation of an energy-group owner.

## What is established and what is not

Established: The king appointed him PM-designate on 10 September 2021 after RNI’s plurality.

Not established: A unique later fortune integer as size, or that he sat as the King.

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 palace meeting is not a reason to drop 10 September 2021.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies King appoints Akhannouch prime minister-designate after RNI win, not a later speech about King appoints Akhannouch prime minister-designate after RNI win.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. King appoints Akhannouch prime minister-designate after RNI win on 2021-09-10 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 Akhannouch prime minister-designate after RNI win into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He accepted the designation. Sharing the palace meeting is not a reason to drop 10 September 2021. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
