The third government of Mohamed Ould Bilal was the 18th government of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, in office from 4 July 2023 to 2 August 2024.[2][3][4] It is a coalition between El Insaf and the Union for Democracy and Progress, whose leader Naha Mint Mouknass is the only member representing the party.

Background

[edit]

The government was formed after Prime Minister Mohamed Ould Bilal resigned with his government on 3 July 2023,[5] with him being re-nominated by President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani hours later.[6]

Ministers

[edit]

The list of members was announced by the Presidency of the Republic on 4 July, taking position immediately.[2]

Most ministers from the previous government remained, with nine new ministers entering the government, of which only one was a woman.[7]

Four appointed ministers were already serving as deputies elected in the 2023 Mauritanian parliamentary election, which opened the door to them resigning from their position as deputies.[8]
