The National Rally for Reform and Development (abbreviated RNRD; Arabic: التجمع الوطني للإصلاح و التنمية), often known by its shortened Arabic name Tewassoul, is an Islamist political party in Mauritania. The party put forward their leader, Mohamed Jemil Ould Mansour, as their candidate for the 2009 Mauritanian presidential election.[2]

The party is a part of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is considered a terrorist organization by the governments of Bahrain,[3][4] Egypt, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Syria and the United Arab Emirates.[5][6][7][8][9][10]

Tewassoul is a member of the opposition Coordination of the Democratic Opposition, and currently has 4 seats in the National Assembly,[11] and 1 seat in the Senate.[12]

As a result of the 2018 parliamentary election, Tewassoul has become the second largest political party in Mauritania.[13]
