The people of Morocco have been without a government for almost six months. Now the political stalemate has finally ended. Morocco's new Prime Minister has agreed to form a coalition government with five other parties. Saad-E-deen El Othmani was appointed by King Mohamed the Sixth last week after sacking his predecessor. The charismatic and popular Abdlelilah Benkirane failed to form a government since his PJD party won most seats in last October's election. Now that a new administration is being formed, how much influence will the coalition government have in a system where the king retains ultimate power?
