Istiqlal victorious in Moroccan election

September 10, 2007

Morocco's nationalist party Istiqlal emerged victorious from Friday's legislative elections, beating the moderate Islamist Justice and Development Party (PJD) into second place. The result was a surprise for the PJD which had been tipped to win. An AFPTV report takes a look at Istiqlal, which was founded in 1944 and played a major role in campaigning for independence from France.
