2023 Mauritanian local elections

13 May 2023

235 local councils

Local elections were held in Mauritania on 13 May 2023, alongside parliamentary and regional elections.

The elections were the first local elections held after the first peaceful transition of power in the country as a result of the 2019 presidential elections, in which Mohamed Ould Ghazouani was elected president after incumbent Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz was not able to run due to the two-term constitutional limit.
