The National Assembly (Arabic: الجمعية الوطنية, romanized: al-Jamʻīyah al-Waṭanīyah; Pulaar: 𞤀𞤧𞤢𞥄𞤥𞤦𞤫𞤤𞤫 𞤲𞤺𞤫𞤲𞤲𞤣𞤭, romanized: Asaambele ngenndi; Wolof: Ëttu Ndawi réew) is the unicameral legislative house of the Parliament of Mauritania. The legislature currently has 176 deputies, elected for five-year terms in electoral districts or nationwide proportional lists.
From 1961 until 1978, the only legal party in the country was the Mauritanian People's Party (French: Parti du Peuple Mauritanien, PPM). The legislature was disbanded after the 10 July 1978 coup. In 1992, a bicameral legislature was established, consisting the National Assembly and Senate of Mauritania. In the 1990s, a multiparty system was introduced in Mauritania. However, the Democratic and Social Republican Party (PRDS) dominated the parliament until a coup in 2005. After the 2008 military coup, the Union for the Republic has been the dominating force of the National Assembly until it was rebranded as the Equity Party (El Insaf) in 2022.
On 19 June 2023 Mohamed Ould Meguett was elected President of the National Assembly.
