Background
editThe government was formed after Prime Minister Mohamed Ould Bilal resigned with his government on 3 July 2023,[5] with him being re-nominated by President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani hours later.[6]
Ministers
editThe 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.[7]
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.[8]
