Listen to the story

The PJD is a political party in Morocco. It has an Islamic reference. This means its ideas come from Islamic values.

In 2021, the PJD lost a big election. This was a very bad result for the party. People call it a 'dramatic fall.'

Now the party wants to change. It is trying to learn from its mistakes. The leader is Abdelilah Benkirane.

Benkirane is a well-known politician in Morocco. He led the party before. Now he is helping it start again.

The party wants people to trust it again. Trust means people believe you are honest and good.

This is not easy. The party lost many voters in 2021. Voters are people who choose leaders in an election.

The PJD must show new ideas. It must show it can help people. Then maybe voters will support it again.

Many people are watching this story. They want to see if the PJD can recover. Recover means to become strong again after a problem.
