Senatorial elections were held in Mauritania on 21 January 2007 and on 4 February 2007.[1] 53 of the 56 senators were elected by 3,688 municipal councillors, while the last 3 (who represent the Mauritanian diaspora) will be appointed by the elected senators.[2]

38 seats were chosen in the first round; independents of the Al-Mithaq coalition won 26 seats, while the Republican Party for Democracy and Renewal, which had been the ruling party during the presidency of Maaouya Ould Sid'Ahmed Taya, only won 3 seats and the opposition Coalition of Forces for Democratic Change (including the Rally of Democratic Forces) won 11 seats.

Of the 15 seats decided in the second round, eleven were won by Al-Mithaq and four by the CFCD. This results in the following totals:[1]
