Career

Bouabid was sworn to the legal profession in 1952 and was registered at the high table in 1955.

Bouabid was offered an official position at the start of independence, like young law graduates, few in number then. He accepted the post of public prosecutor at the regional court of Tangier from 1956 until the unification of the court of appeal of Tangier in 1957.[8]

Bouabid was the first mayor of the city of Casablanca and president of the Moroccan club Raja CA from 1966 to 1968.[9]

In 1983, Bouabid and a group of people with whom he shared common convictions founded the Constitutional Union party, with Bouabid remaining the founding leader and de facto head of this party throughout three national conferences.[10] In the eighteenth government, which lasted from November 30, 1983, to April 11, 1985, he was Minister of State.

Death

Bouabid died on November 1, 1996, after suffering a heart attack. He was 69.[11][12]
