National Rally For Reform And Development
The National Rally for Reform and Development ( ar, التجمع الوطني للإصلاح و التنمية, french: Rassemblement Nationale pour la Réforme et le Développement), often known by its shortened Arabic name Tewassoul ( ar, تواصل) or by the abbreviation of its French name (RNRD), is an Islamist political party in Mauritania.

Presidential elections were held in Mauritania on 18 July 2009. Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, who led the 2008 coup d'état, won a narrow first-round majority in the election, according to official results. A second round, if necessary, would have been held on 1 August 2009. Following the coup which deposed President Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi on 6 August 2008, the new junta (the High Council of State) promised that a presidential election would be held "as soon as possible". The election was subsequently scheduled for 6 June 2009. Abdel Aziz, who was President of the High Council of State, stepped down in April 2009 in order to stand as a candidate.

This was the first time the president was selected by ballot in the country's history.

Conflict between white Moor, black Moor, and non-Moor ethnic groups, centering on language, land tenure, and other issues, continues to pose challenges to the idea of national unity.
