King Mohammed VI of Morocco has announced that he is replacing the country's prime minister, following a failure to form a coalition government.
A statement from the royal palace say in order to break the current political deadlock, the king would appoint another member of the leading party, Justice and Development Party, as prime minister, replacing Abdelilah Benkirane.
The Justice and Development Party won the most seats in parliamentary elections in October 2016.
But it has failed to form a coalition despite five months of negotiations, which has been the longest time Morocco has been without a government in recent history.
