# Third government of Mohamed Ould Bilal

The third government of Mohamed Ould Bilal was the 18th government of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, in office from 4 July 2023 to 2 August 2024. It is a coalition between El Insaf and the Union for Democracy and Progress, whose leader Naha Mint Mouknass is the only member representing the party.

## Background

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

## Ministers

The list of members was announced by the Presidency of the Republic on 4 July, taking position immediately.
Most ministers from the previous government remained, with nine new ministers entering the government, of which only one was a woman.
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.
