History
[edit]Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council issued a decision on 5 February 2024 appointing its foreign minister Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak as the country's new prime minister.[2] Bin Mubarak resigned from his post on 3 May 2025 and announced it on a social media post, saying that he wasn't able to take "necessary decisions to reform the state institution, and execute the necessary Cabinet reshuffle."[3]
