The Mauritanian Party for Renewal (French: Parti Mauritanien pour le Rénouveau, PMR) is a political party in Mauritania.
History[edit]
The PMR was established in 1991 after the country's status as a one-party state was lifted. Unlike many opposition parties, it did not boycott the 1992 parliamentary elections.[1] Although it received only 0.7% of the vote, it won a single seat.[2] It lost its seat in the 1996 elections, which it did not contest.
The 2007 presidential elections saw the party nominate wealthy businessman Rajel dit Rachid Moustapha as its candidate,[3] but he received only 0.27% of the vote.[2] In the 2013 parliamentary elections the party received 0.7% of the vote, failing to win a seat.
