The Alliance of People's Forces (Arabic: إئتلاف قوى الشعب, romanized: iʾtilāf qiwā aš-šhaʿb, French: Alliance des forces du peuple) is a left-wing political alliance in Mauritania formed in 2024, with its main members including the Union of the Forces of Progress and factions of Hope Mauritania and the Rally of Democratic Forces.

History

The coalition was launched on 15 December 2024 by leaders of the traditional left-wing opposition (represented by the Union of the Forces of Progress and a faction of the Rally of Democratic Forces that opposed Ahmed Ould Daddah's endorsement of Mohamed Ould Ghazouani) and a faction of the new left-wing opposition, represented by a faction of Hope Mauritania, that replaced the traditional parties' prominence in the 2023 elections.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

Two FRUD deputies, leader Amadou Tijane Diop and 2024 presidential candidate El Id Ould Mohameden joined the alliance, while FRUD deputy Khally Diallo distanced himself from it.^[5]
