Kamal Ait Mik was a candidate for this position, along with a young parliamentarian member of the Federal National Council of the United Arab Emirates.
At the same time, the 12-member Bureau of the International Forum of Young Parliamentarians elected Dan Garden MP, a member of the British House of Commons, as its Chair.
The Forum of Young Parliamentarians is one of the most important bodies of the Inter-Parliamentary Union. It is a platform where young parliamentarians from around the world deliberate on issues of political participation, democracy promotion, human rights and sustainable development.
This is the first election of a young Moroccan parliamentarian to the Forum’s board.
Founded in 1889, the Inter-Parliamentary Union is the international organization of the world’s parliaments and a key partner of the United Nations.
