Biography

Political career
Laftit previously worked in several positions in the regional and port sectors before he was appointed Wali (governor) of the Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaer region by King Mohammed VI on 24 January 2014, as well as of the Rabat prefecture.[2] He continued his role as Wali when the region was reorganized as Rabat-Salé-Kénitra in 2015.

Controversy
On 2 April 2018, during a meeting at the Commission for the Interior, Local Authorities, Housing and Urban Policy in the House of Representatives, Laftit accused a number of organizations, including the Moroccan Association for Human Rights (AMDH), of "widening protest zones in multiple regions of the kingdom" and "exploiting any social movement to worsen the situation".[5]
In response to his comments, the Moroccan Coalition of Human Rights Bodies (CMIDH) said that Laftit intended to "reinforce censorship" and demanded an apology from him.[6]
