Moroccan press reports have revealed that Fouzi Lekjaa, the Minister Delegate in charge of the Budget and President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, is preparing to take a new step in his career by officially joining the Authenticity and Modernity Party, weeks ahead of the upcoming legislative elections.

According to sources from the le360 network, the official announcement of Lekjaa's membership is expected to be made during the meeting of the National Council of the Authenticity and Modernity Party next Saturday, months after rumors spread about his impending accession to the party.

The report clarified that Lekjaa's joining of the National Council will automatically pave the way for his entry into the Political Bureau of the Authenticity and Modernity Party, as a government member, in accordance with the party's bylaws, making him part of the highest executive body within the party.

Le360 did not reveal whether the new position will affect Lekjaa's future as president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (Moroccan Football Association).

Lekjaa is considered one of the most prominent government faces in Morocco, due to his role in managing budget files, in addition to his oversight of the football sector through his presidency of the Royal Moroccan Federation, which gives him significant political and administrative weight.
