MRT·2019 – present·El Insaf/UPR presidential majority
Leaders: Mohamed Ould Ghazouani (President, 2019-present) · Mohamed Ould Bilal (Prime Minister, 2020-2024) · Mokhtar Ould Diay (Prime Minister, 2024-present)

Doctrine — stated goals and content

Ghazouani's governing programme links social stabilization, fisheries and mining-resource management, macro-fiscal discipline, and climate resilience. It combines targeted cash transfers and a social registry with EU fisheries licensing, IMF ECF/EFF/RSF reforms, and a resource-sector diversification agenda around minerals, energy, and climate finance.
