Equity Party (Mauritania)

Ruling political party in Mauritania

The Equity Party (Arabic: حزب الإنصاف, romanized: ḥizb al-inṣāf; French: Parti de l'équité), often known by the transliteration of its Arabic name El Insaf, is a political party in Mauritania. It was founded on 3 July 2022 after the governing Union for the Republic rebranded itself ahead of the 2023 Mauritanian parliamentary election.

It was led by Mohamed Melainine Ould Eyih, who left his cabinet positions to focus on the leadership of the party ahead of the 2023 parliamentary election.[4]
