MP Biram Dah Abeid has announced his resignation from parliament at this stage, to devote himself to what he described as the fight against corruption and disinformation.

Biram Dah Abeid said that those convicted of corruption along with former president Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz had been recycled and are the ones now holding the reins, pledging to confront them on the ground.

Speaking during the session debating the government's policy, he added that Mauritanians must engage in democratic change, asserting that even elections, once the only democratic gain, have been rigged.

Biram Dah Abeid insisted that official tally sheets are being manipulated with the complicity of the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI), stating that the Mauritanian people will not accept the continuation of the current situation.
