Mauritania dissolves 76 political parties in line with law


(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) RABAT, March 5 (KUNA) -- Mauritania's Ministry of Interior and Decentralization issued a decree on Tuesday dissolving 76 Political parties at once.

The move comes in line with a law, which has the power to dissolve parties that fail to participate in two consecutive municipal elections or gain less than one percent of the votes in case of participation.
