Nouakchott: The first round of Mauritania's presidential election will take place on June 29, with a possible second round on July 14, according to a presidential decree published on Saturday.
Outgoing President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani, 67, is expected to be the clear favourite in the election though he has not yet announced his candidacy.
Ghazouani has been at the helm of the vast West African country since 2019 and provided stability in the Sahel region, which faces rising jihadism.
He has prioritised the fight against poverty after the Covid-19 pandemic and war in Ukraine caused a sluggish economy.
Last year his party, El Insaf, won a landslide victory in legislative elections -- taking 107 of the 176 seats in the National Assembly, well ahead of the Islamist party Tewassoul, which won 11 seats.
