Fatima Zahra El Mansouri has been named Morocco's first female prime minister, after her centrist Authenticity and Modernity Party (Pam) won the most seats in last week's parliamentary elections.

She was named by King Mohammed VI, who chose her as prime minister over the country's football chief Fouzi Lekjaa, a top politician from the same party. El Mansouri, 50, has been the mayor of Marrakesh for a number of years and also served as a minister in the previous coalition government.
