The 7th National Assembly of Mauritius was a legislative meeting in Mauritius. It was opened on 21 November 2019, following the general election held on 10 November in the same year.[1]

The Assembly was elected using the plurality block voting, with the country being divided into 21 constituencies: 20 for mainland Mauritius and one constituency for the island of Rodrigues. A total of 62 elective members are chosen to represent, with each constituency having three elective members whilst the Rodrigues constituency elects two instead. In addition, a maximum of an additional 8 members are chosen by the Election Commission under the Best Loser System (BLS), which allows a proportional representation towards underrepresented for ethnic groups of the country.

Following the election, the Alliance du Changement, a coalition between the Labour Party, Mauritian Militant Movement, New Democrats and Rezistans ek Alternativ, won in a landslide taking all but two of the elective seats to the Assembly. The Rodrigues People's Organisation took both of the elective seats of Rodrigues. This was the third time that a 60-0 result was repeated in an election. Four best loser seats were allocated after the election: two seats to the Rodrigues-based Alliance Liberation and one seat each to the Militant Socialist Movement and Parti Mauricien Social Démocrate.

Navin Ramgoolam, leader of the Labour Party and of the alliance, was appointed in as prime minister on 12 November 2024 and sworn in the following day.[2] In the aftermath of the election, Joe Lesjongard was appointed as leader of the opposition on 15 November.
