Mauritanians voted in a presidential election, with incumbent Mohamed Ould Ghazouani expected to win with investor-friendly policies. Ghazouani faces six opponents, including anti-slavery activist Biram Dah Abeid. Major election issues include fighting corruption and creating jobs. If re-elected, Ghazouani plans to invest in renewable energy and expand mining. He has promised to manage Islamist threats and boost stability. Analysts predict Ghazouani will likely win in the first round, but a second round is possible if no candidate receives over 50% of the vote. Some opposition supporters are wary of potential fraud after previous election concerns.
