Burst of Youth for the Nation

The party was founded in 2011 by a group of youth activists inspired by the Arab Spring seeking to involve young Mauritanians into active politics.^[1] It won four seats in the 2013 parliamentary elections.^[2]

The party was reduced to three seats in the 2018 elections. Following the elections the party split. A faction of the party led by Varha Mint Ahmed Ely removed leader Lalla Mint Cheriva and elected Mint Ahmed Ely instead on 21 October 2018,^[3] a move condemned by the Lalla-led faction.^[4] In December 2018 the Lalla faction released a statement confirming that Varha's faction had only four members and that the move was illegal and not to be recognised.^[5]

In 2019 it was rumoured that ex-President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz would join the party to become its leader, although this did not happen.^[6]

The party failed to win a seat in the May 2023 parliamentary elections and was legally deregistered on 19 October 2023 together with four other parties after failing to obtain 1% in two consecutive local elections.^[7]
