Background
The government was formed after Prime Minister Mohamed Ould Bilal resigned with his government on 3 July 2023,{{Cite web |date=2023-07-03 |title=الوزير الأول يقدم استقالته للرئيس |trans-title=The Prime Minister presents his resignation to the President |url=https://alakhbar.info/?q=node/48334 |access-date=2023-08-06 |website=AlAkhbar.info |language=ar}} with him being re-nominated by President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani hours later.{{Cite web |date=2023-07-03 |title=تكليف الوزير الأول المستقيل بتشكيل حكومة جديدة |trans-title=The resigning Prime Minister was assigned to form a new government |url=https://alakhbar.info/?q=node/48335 |access-date=2023-08-06 |website=AlAkhbar.info |language=ar}}
Ministers
The list of members was announced by the Presidency of the Republic on 4 July, taking position immediately.
Most ministers from the previous government remained, with nine new ministers entering the government, of which only one was a woman.{{Cite web |date=2023-07-04 |title=Remaniement ministériel en Mauritanie : 9 nouveaux ministres dont une seule femme |trans-title=Ministerial reshuffle in Mauritania: 9 new ministers including only one woman |url=https://fr.saharamedias.net/remaniement-ministeriel-en-mauritanie-9-nouveaux-ministres-dont-une-seule-femme/ |access-date=2023-08-06 |website=SaharaMedias |language=fr}}
Four appointed ministers were already serving as deputies elected in the 2023 Mauritanian parliamentary election, which opened the door to them resigning from their position as deputies.{{Cite web |date=2023-07-04 |title=الحكومة الجديدة: غير ثلثها وحضر النواب مع تبادل وهيكلة محدودة |trans-title=The new government: a third of it [the government] was changed and representatives attended with limited exchange and restructuring |url=https://alakhbar.info/?q=node/48369 |access-date=2023-08-06 |website=AlAkhbar.info |language=ar}}
