This paper aims to study the power relationship between the monarchy and political parties in post-independence Morocco. In the midst of the struggle for independence against the French and Spaniards, political parties came to light in Morocco early 1930s. It was a turning point in the struggle for independence when the urban elite took the lead by political means. As the kingdom gained its independence mid-1950s, the political parties and the monarchy that fought together for independence turned against each other seeking to monopolize the political sphere mainly the Istiqlal [Independence] Party (PI). This paper seeks to examine the power relationship between the monarchy and the political parties in post-independent Morocco through the main research question, how did the monarchy ensure its political supremacy over other political entities in the kingdom. This paper argues that the monarchy weakened the opposition parties using all the means such as harsh repression, marginalizing, mirroring pro-monarchy political parties, fragmenting the partisan sphere, and co-opting to weaken its political opponents. The result, as a distorted partisan sphere, numerous numbers of useless political parties, while the monarchy emerged as the vanquisher of a fierce political struggle with the political parties.
