Mauritanian national political dialogue process
Overview
The Mauritanian government has launched a national political dialogue process as part of President Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani’s electoral program. The initiative aims to facilitate public deliberation on critical national issues through a structured roadmap and the appointment of a national coordinator.
Following the announcement, the ruling coalition appointed representatives to a supervisory committee, including Mohamed Ould Beibaa as deputy chair. These appointments were based on criteria such as electoral weight and representation in the National Assembly.
However, the selection process has caused internal tension. The Citizenship and Justice Front, led by Mohamed Jemel Ould Mansour, has frozen its relationship with the ruling coalition, protesting “unilateral decisions” and claiming the committee composition lacks consensus and fair representation. This friction occurs within a broader political context of opposition skepticism following the July 2024 presidential election.
