The Kingdom Of Morocco runs on the system of constitutional monarchy. The recognized head of the Kingdom of Morocco is King Mohammad VI. He heads the military of Morocco. He is also honored as the religious leader of the Kingdom of Morocco.
Though, the regions of the Kingdom of Morocco are administered by Walis or governors, the King holds the absolute power to appoint the governors. To run the State in a decentralized format, the Kingdom of Morocco has been divided into 16 administrative regions. These regions have further been divided into provinces and prefectures.
The Moroccan Constitution allows for a parliament and an independent judiciary. But, the highest authority is always by the King in the Kingdom of Morocco. Following the legislative elections, the King appoints the Prime Minister. In the last parliamentary elections of Morocco in 2002, King Mohammad VI appointed the then Interior Minister Driss Jettou as the Prime Minister of Morocco.
In the Kingdom of Morocco, the King enjoys the command over the Council of Ministers. The King takes into account the Prime Minister's recommendations to appoint all members of the Government. The King also is authorized to terminate the tenure of any minister at the discretion of the Prime Minister. The next Morocco Parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in September, 2007.
