 * , are we sure that 'Prime Minister of Morocco' is more common that 'President of the Government of Morocco'? Can you please give a few links backing up the same? Regards, SshibumXZ (talk · contribs). 19:16, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Generally the president and prime minister are separate offices. &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 19:22, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Morocco has a King and a Prime Minister. The reason nobody calls the Russian PM Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation is because that is its common name, as is the reason President of the Government of Spain redirects to Prime Minister. A direct Google search gives 88 results for President of the Government, whereas Prime Minister gives 265,000]. And if we want to be really technical, then the official "proper" English translation is simply "Head of Government", not "President of the Government"-- Tærkast (Discuss) 19:51, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Prime Minister gives 12,500 Google Book searches compared to about 4,600 for "President of the Government".-- Tærkast (Discuss) 19:54, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * This does appear fairly conclusive. In addition "President of Morocco" only returns 550 results and "Head of Government of Morocco" returns 142,000 results. The existing title is never used and must have been an attempt at a literal description. &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 19:59, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Not yet
Aziz Akhannouch isn't yet PM, he won't until his governement is formed, in the same way Saadeddine Othmani was nominated on 17 March 2017 and wasn't PM until his government was formed on 5 april.--Aréat (talk) 11:22, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
 * But if that's the case then why Othmani is labeled to be PM since 17 March? Morocco's PM appointment is by King; from my understanding, once the King appointed you to PM office you are inaugurated; forming the government is does not inaugurate but rather confirm parliamentary confidence. Basically, if King appoint someone to PM office, he is PM; the parliament can ofc freely give the government formed by this PM no confidence, forcing him to resign. In between appointment and no confidence, the PM is still the official PM of the country. WeifengYang (talk) 20:26, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
 * That's an error that someone must have edited in the infobox a while ago. He is correctly stated as having took charge on 5 April 2017 on List of heads of government of Morocco. The constitution state that the king nominate the head of government (art 47) which is then invested only when obtaining the vote of confidence of the lower house (art 88). That's what happened on 5 April 2017 for Othmani. Before that, the PM is only nominated, not inaugurated. Cordially.--Aréat (talk) 20:38, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
