CEOAFRICA.com gathered from Morocco that the leader of the country, King Mohammed, has named new cabinet which consist of 19 ministers.

This, according to sources, came after the Prime Minister reached a deal to form a new coalition that weakens the ruling Islamists.

The King increased the number of ministers from 30 to 39, as a way of accommodating every party involved in the coalition. He replaced General Affairs Minister Najib Boulif who was in charge of the reforms for Prime Minister Abdelillah Benkirane's Islamist Justice and Development party [PJD], with Mohamed El Ouafa, who was Istiqlal education minister and refused to quit with his colleagues in July.

The PJD came to power after constitutional reforms and early elections in 2011 that were proposed by the king to stifle Arab Spring-inspired protests that called for a fully elected government.
