Deep Split within the RFD Party:

In a controversial development on the Mauritanian political scene, the Rally of Democratic Forces (RFD) party has recently experienced a profound division, انقساماً حاداً with member opinions diverging over support in the upcoming presidential elections. While the party officially announced its support for candidate El Aid Ould Mohameden Embarek at a festival held at the old youth house, a dissenting political bloc declared its support for the candidate of the Tawassoul party, the democratic opposition leader, Hamady Ould Sidi El Mokhtar.

Challenges within the party escalated when the party president, contrary to the general current within the party, declared his support for the current President Mohamed Cheikh El Ghazouani, sparking widespread debate and dissatisfaction among key party members. This split led to heightened tensions, prompting the party president to expel a influential group of party cadres due to their dissent and non-compliance with the official party line.

The current situation reflects the internal conflicts and challenges that political parties in Mauritania face, where divisions threaten to dismantle the basic structure of the parties, especially in periods preceding crucial elections. The coming days will be decisive in determining how the RFD will handle these internal challenges and how it will impact its stance on the Mauritanian political scene.
