Mercury of Eco Life: Adel El Fakir, Khadija Bendam & Nabil Benabdellah
Political Shifts and Leadership Appointments in Morocco – September 20, 2025
PPS Leader Eyes “Influencers” for future Candidates
Nabil Benabdellah, leader of the Progress and Socialism Party (PPS), is reportedly shifting recruitment strategies to prioritize “influencers” as potential candidates. This move comes alongside criticism of others for allegedly devaluing conventional “skills” within the political landscape. Observers question whether this signals a lack of experienced executives within the PPS ranks, prompting speculation about the party’s future direction and talent pipeline.
Key Leadership Appointments
Recent appointments highlight Morocco’s growing influence on the international stage. On September 20, 2025, Khadija Bendam was appointed to lead the International Nuclear Cooperation Council (INCC), a global forum representing nearly 80,000 companies in the nuclear sector. This position is seen as a boost to the Kingdom’s image and soft power.
Elsewhere, Adel El Fakir is overseeing a notable growth plan for Moroccan airports, including a change of the ONDA lounge, aiming for a revolutionary upgrade to the facility.
