After Taya's ouster in August 2005, Boulkheir stood as the APP candidate again in the March 2007 presidential election.[1] In this election, held on March 11, he placed fourth, receiving 9.79% of the vote;[4] he subsequently backed Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi for the second round,[5] despite the participation of the APP in the Coalition of the Forces for Democratic Change along with the other second round candidate, Ahmed Ould Daddah.[6] Abdallahi won the election, and in April 2007, Boulkheir was elected as President of the National Assembly.[7]
On September 2, 2007, Boulkheir said that the APP would not join a new party being formed to support Abdallahi.[10]
Following the August 2008 military coup d'état, the APP, along with the pro-Abdallahi National Pact for Democracy and Development (PNDD-ADIL), joined the four-party National Front for the Defense of Democracy, which opposed the coup.[11]
