Istiqlal Party faced a setback on Sunday as it failed to elect members of the Executive Committee during the designated session of its eighteenth conference held in Bouznika.
The Ould Errachid faction announced the postponement of the election, leading to their departure from the conference venue, as reported Hespress AR.
Earlier, Hamdi Ould Rachid briefly entered and then left the meeting hall of the National Council of the Istiqlal Party, signaling discord within the party. This delay followed meetings between Nizar Baraka and various party leaders, notably Ould Rachid, where disagreements over the composition of the Executive Committee list became apparent.
The indefinite postponement underscores the Secretary-General’s opportunity to regroup and finalize his choices for the leadership team.
Sources suggest that conflicting preferences between Ould Rachid and Baraka on certain names were a primary cause of the meeting disruption, affecting the party’s 1,300 members awaiting the session.
In the early hours of Sunday morning, the National Council unanimously renewed confidence in Nizar Baraka as the party’s Secretary-General for a second term.
