# Ghazouani wins a second presidential term as the runner-up rejects CENI

Date: 2024

## The fact

On 29 June 2024 Mauritania held a presidential poll. CENI on 30 June printed more than 56 percent for [Mohamed Ould Ghazouani](/people/mohamed-ould-ghezouani) from 4,468 of 4,503 stations with 55.33 percent turnout. Anti-slavery candidate Biram Dah Abeid was printed at 22.14 percent and said he would not recognise the so-called independent commission, calling an electoral coup.

## Context

He had been sworn on 1 August 2019 after the 2019 poll. Abeid is unresolved. This page does not mint ukraine-war.

29 June vote; 30 June CENI print. Stored as one 29 June 2024 Fact. Keep Ghazouani wins a second presidential term as the runner-up rejects CENI on 2024-06-29 separate from neighbouring Ghazouani instruments.

The President of Mauritania is head of state. He can contest a presidential poll and sit as the named target of deputies’ posts. He does not write CENI tables, Reuters notes, BBC dispatches, or Nouakchott-Ouest arrêts.

## Evidence and sources

Reuters carries the official instrument or communique. BBC News records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is the owned Sahel-security driver: a completed second-term poll rejected by the runner-up.

## What is established and what is not

Established: The 29 June 2024 poll returned him as printed by CENI on 30 June. Abeid refused the commission.

Not established: A unique result integer reconciling more than 56 percent with BBC’s about 56 percent, or that Abeid is minted.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Sharing CENI decimals is not a reason to drop 29 June 2024.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Ghazouani wins a second presidential term as the runner-up rejects CENI, not a later speech about Ghazouani wins a second presidential term as the runner-up rejects CENI.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Ghazouani wins a second presidential term as the runner-up rejects CENI on 2024-06-29 is not a licence to treat every later Reuters communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Ghazouani wins a second presidential term as the runner-up rejects CENI into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He contested the poll as incumbent. Sharing CENI decimals is not a reason to drop 29 June 2024. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
