**Hamid Chabat** (Arabic: حميد شباط – born 17 August 1953, [Taza Province](/source/Taza))[1] is a Moroccan politician and the previous Secretary-General of the [Istiqlal Party](/source/Istiqlal_Party). Hamid Chabat has been the mayor of [Fes](/source/Fes) since October 2003 and was elected on 23 September 2003 to lead his party, defeating rival [Abdelouahed El Fassi](/source/Abdelouahed_El_Fassi), a relative of former incumbent [Abbas El Fassi](/source/Abbas_El_Fassi) and grandson of [Allal El Fassi](/source/Allal_El_Fassi).[2][3] Before holding office, Chabat forged a name for himself in his party's [trade union](/source/Trade_union) ([General Union of Moroccan Workers](/source/General_Union_of_Moroccan_Workers) aka UGTM).[2]

Chabat also owns a regional newspaper covering the Fes region. Chabat left the Istiqlal party to join the [Front of Democratic Forces](/source/Front_of_Democratic_Forces) party in August 2021 ahead of the [2021 general election](/source/2021_Moroccan_general_election).
