Control of regional administrations before the election El Insaf-led government
Regional elections were held in Mauritania on 13 May 2023, alongside parliamentary and local elections.[1][2]
The elections were the first regional 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.
