Exclusion of Certain Government Officials at Ghazouani's Campaign Rally: Implications and Commitments to Change for a New Term

At the end of the election campaign of presidential candidate Mohamed Ould Cheikh Ghazouani, the observation of the exclusion of prominent government officials to the designated area for the event caught the attention of many observers. Among these personalities were Prime Minister Mohamed Ould Bilal, Parliament President Mohamed Ould Meguett, as well as several other ministers such as the Secretary-General of the Presidency Moulaye Ould Mohamed Laghdaf and Chief of Staff Mokhtar Ould Ajay. This exclusion raised many questions about its motivations and whether it reflects internal changes in the political orientations of the presidential candidate.

In this context, Ghazouani's commitments, if re-elected for a new presidential term, are manifested by radical changes in government policies. Among these changes, his firm commitment to fighting corruption stands out, a crucial step towards reforming the political and administrative system of the country. Corruption has been and remains one of the main challenges hindering development in Mauritania, and through this commitment, Ghazouani seeks to establish the principle of transparency and accountability in government institutions.

In addition to fighting corruption, Ghazouani emphasized the need to empower the youth, who represent 65% of Mauritania's population. This commitment reflects his deep understanding of the vital role of young people in sustainable development. Youth empowerment policies require not only providing employment and education opportunities but also involving them in the decision-making process and enabling them to play an active role in the political and economic life of the country. Prioritizing youth necessitates adopting comprehensive development policies aimed at developing their capacities and enhancing their participation in society. Mauritanian youth represent enormous energy that can be directed towards innovation and creativity if a conducive environment is provided.

Ghazouani's commitments are part of a broader vision for the future of Mauritania, seeking to balance the fight against corruption with the promotion of sustainable development. This vision also requires strengthening infrastructure, improving public services, and supporting the private sector to achieve the desired economic growth.

As the elections approach, the Mauritanian public eagerly awaits the results of this democratic process and wonders whether Ghazouani will be able to fulfill his ambitious promises. Success in the elections and the implementation of these policies on the ground could open a new chapter in Mauritania's history and strengthen the people's confidence in their leadership's ability to face future challenges. The challenges remain significant, but strong political will and commitment to change can help achieve tangible progress towards a brighter future for Mauritania and its people.
