Parliamentary elections were held in Mauritania on 19 November 2006, with a second round on 3 December.[1][2] At least 28 political parties competed for seats in the National Assembly, the lower house of Parliament. Islamist parties were banned, but many Islamists ran as independent candidates.[3] 95 seats in the National Assembly were at stake in the election, along with over 200 local councils.[3]
About 600 independent candidates ran in the election, many of whom were grouped into the National Rally of Independents (RNI). Many members of the RNI were formerly members of the Democratic and Social Republican Party (PRDS), which had ruled the country under President Maaouya Ould Sid'Ahmed Taya.[4]
