Sawab (Arabic: حزب الصواب, romanized: ḥizb aṣ-ṣawāb, lit. 'Party of the Right Path'), is a Ba'athist and Arab nationalist political party in Mauritania. The party leader is Abdesselam Ould Horma.^[1]

The party was formed and founded on 23 May 2004 by supporters of former Mauritanian Head of State Mohamed Khouna Ould Haidalla,^[2] although the party denies any links with Ould Haidalla.^[3]

Most of the party's Ba'athists were formerly associated with the Iraqi dominated faction.^[4]^[5] Support for the party is mainly confined to a small Arab group.^{[citation needed]}

In 2013, the party was led by Abdesselam Ould Horma and was a member of the opposition Coalition for Pacific Alternation, along with People's Progressive Alliance and El-Wiam.^[6]

During the 2023 parliamentary elections, the Sawab party won five seats in the National Assembly; the party is still part of the opposition.^[7]^[8]
