National Popular Movement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Popular Movement (French: Mouvement National Populaire) was a political party in Morocco.

History and profile[edit]

The party was founded in 1991, as a split of the Popular Movement, under veteran Berber politician and former defense minister Mahjoubi Aherdane, and is known to have a very strong Berber element.[1][2]

At the legislative elections on 27 September 2002, the party won 18 out of 325 seats.

The party was dissolved and merged back into the Popular Movement in 2006.
