Background

The government was formed after Prime Minister Mohamed Ould Bilal resigned with his government on 3 July 2023, [4] with him being re-nominated by President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani hours later. [5]

Ministers

The list of members was announced by the Presidency of the Republic on 4 July, taking position immediately. [2]

Most ministers from the previous government remained, with nine new ministers entering the government, of which only one was a woman. [6]

Four appointed ministers were already serving as deputies elected in the 2023 Mauritanian parliamentary election, which opened the door to them resigning from their position as deputies. [7]
