Aziz Akhannouch (Arabic: عزيز أخنوش, Berber: ⵄⴰⵣⵉⵣ ⴰⵅⵏⵏⵓⵛ; born 16 August 1961)[1][2] is a Moroccan politician, businessman, and billionaire who is serving as the 17th Prime Minister of Morocco since his government took office on 7 October 2021.[3] He is the CEO of Akwa Group and also served as Minister of Agriculture from 2007 to 2021.
Akhannouch's political career has been generally characterized by several controversies, including accusations of corruption and negative relations with the press.[4][5] His government has been additionally marked by inflation, as well as continued suppression of dissenting opinions.[6][7][8] It has been suggested that Akhannouch may have been elected by election fraud and vote buying, as the previous party, the PJD saw its support collapse from 125 to just 12 seats.[9][10][11]
