Belfqih was a former member of the Socialist Union of Popular Forces (USFP). Under the USFP Party, Belfqih served as the mayor of Guelmim.
Belfqih’s death occurred following his resignation from Moroccan politics.

Moroccan television channel 2M said that Belfqih died after a “fatal gunshot wound” in his family home in Sidi Ifni.
However, other news outlets, including Le360, reported that the PAM member died after a suicide attempt.
Moroccan police and local authorities have yet to release a statement informing the public of the case’s circumstances.
