The second government of Mohamed Ould Bilal was the 17th government of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, in office between 1 April 2022 and 3 July 2023. [1] [2] It was a coalition between the Union for the Republic, which rebranded itself as El Insaf in July 2022, and the Union for Democracy and Progress, whose leader Naha Mint Mouknass is the only member representing the party.
The government was formed after Prime Minister Mohamed Ould Bilal resigned with his government on 29 March 2022, [3] with him being re-nominated by President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani the following day. [4]
The government change was blamed on severe criticism of the government's performance by Ghazouani, with the president saying on a speech on 24 March 2022 that "Most ministries do not have enough staff to solve the problems of citizens. This is unacceptable. There is a huge lack of oversight of public services". [5]
Ould Bilal's second government saw two reshuffles:
The list of members was announced by the Presidency of the Republic on 1 April, taking position immediately. [10] The following table has been updated to reflect the two reshuffles that happened.
