Mauritanian opposition denies rejecting UFP seat
The opposition coalition spokesperson stated that no decision has been made regarding the UFP's representation in the national dialogue commission.
The leader of Mauritania's democratic opposition coalition denied reports that the group refused to include the Union of Progressive Forces Party (UFP) in its representation for the national dialogue commission. Sidi Ould El Kori, spokesperson for the Alliance, stated on Sunday that the coalition has not yet discussed designating its representatives for this commission.
Sahara Media had reported that the opposition bloc rejected a proposal to give the UFP a seat within its quota for the commission, despite efforts by dialogue commission president Moussa Fall. Ould El Kori called these reports inaccurate and unfounded, emphasizing that any official stance on representation must come through authorized channels.
The Alliance is continuing consultations with the Democratic Opposition Institution to reach an agreement on appointing opposition representatives to the national dialogue supervision commission. Ould El Kori stressed that only official channels can attribute positions regarding the coalition's representation and participation in dialogue bodies.
