Mauritanians have taken to the polls to elect their new president from seven candidates, including incumbent Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani. Polling stations opened for 12 hours on Saturday, with results expected later in the day. With 1.9 million registered voters in the country, El Ghazouani, 67, seeks a second term against contenders like Biram Dah Abeid and Hamadi Ould Sid’ El Moctar.
Abeid, a human rights advocate, and Moctar, leader of Tewassoul party, are strong contenders in the election. Abeid, who came second in the 2019 election, focuses on ending the marginalization of Black African population and addressing human rights issues. On the other hand, Moctar’s Tewassoul party holds a significant number of parliamentary seats.
Alongside El Ghazouani, other candidates include El-Aid Ould Mohamedan, Outouma Soumare, Mamadou Boukari, and Mohamed Lamine Mourteji El Wafi. In case of no clear majority, a run-off between the top two candidates will take place on July 13.
