The third government of Mohamed Ould Bilal is the incumbent 18th government of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, in office since 4 July 2023.[2][3] 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
The government was formed after Prime Minister Mohamed Ould Bilal resigned with his government on 3 July 2023,[4] with him being re-nominated by President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani hours later.[5]
Ministers
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.[6]
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.[7]
