Parliamentary elections were held in Mauritania on 13 and 27 May 2023, alongside regional and local elections.[1][2]
The elections were the first parliamentary elections held after the first peaceful transition of power in the country as a result of the 2019 presidential elections, in which Mohamed Ould Ghazouani was elected president after incumbent Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz was not able to run due to the two-term constitutional limit.
Ruling El Insaf (Equity Party) managed to secure a majority in the National Assembly and increase its national list vote percentage, in part due to the smaller number of parties contesting this election. The party was forced into several runoffs and didn't sweep into all constituencies elected through a general ticket as in 2018. The opposition was completely restructured, with left-wing Union of the Forces of Progress, centre-left Rally of Democratic Forces and Haratine minority interests People's Progressive Alliance losing all of their seats in the National Assembly, with left-leaning Hope Mauritania replacing them as the hegemonic left-wing opposition.
