The re-election of Habib El Malki as head of the House of Representatives received the support of the government majority. However, the Party of Justice and Development (PJD) would have in this race put obstacles in the way of several candidates from its own camp, including Amina Maelainine , who therefore misses out on the vice-presidency of the speaker’s chair.
