Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak announced on Saturday his submission of resignation to the Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad Al-Alimi

. 

Bin Mubarak published the text of his resignation via a post on the "X" platform. This announcement follows several days of media leaks and press reports indicating an impending governmental change amidst acute disagreements within the Presidential Leadership Council

.

In his resignation statement, Bin Mubarak stated that he "exerted every possible effort to contribute to the battle to restore the state, defeat the Houthi coup, combat corruption, implement financial and administrative reform, and rebuild state institutions in the capital, Aden

."

He reported facing numerous difficulties and challenges, highlighting among the most significant "not being enabled to work according to his constitutional powers in making the necessary decisions to reform several state institutions," and "not being enabled to carry out the necessary government reshuffle

." 

Bin Mubarak continued, "However, in a short period, we have achieved many accomplishments through the five tracks I adopted as priorities as Prime Minister, especially in the paths of financial and administrative reform, combating corruption, activating the presence of state institutions and their leadership in the capital, Aden, and maximizing the utilization of foreign grants and loans

."

Concluding his resignation, Bin Mubarak wrote, "In loyalty to my values and what I pledged to God in my oath, and out of my keenness for the unity of all components of the Yemeni state, to direct their efforts to a level that rises to the sacrifices, patience, and yearning for salvation of our people in this sensitive stage of our history, I hereby submit my resignation from my position as Prime Minister, placing it before you and the members of the Presidential Leadership Council, wishing whoever is appointed after me all the best of luck and success

Bin Mubarak is the fourth head of the Saudi-backed government to either resign or be dismissed from the post since the Yemeni government relocated to the Saudi capital, Riyadh, following the Saudi-led military intervention in Yemen which began in March 2015

.

He was appointed to the position on February 5, 2024, by a decree from the Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad Al-Alimi, succeeding Maeen Abdulmalik. Bin Mubarak was the first Prime Minister appointed since the formation of the Presidential Leadership Council on April 7, 2022

Bin Mubarak has been one of the most prominent figures connected to Yemen's public affairs since the youth revolution in 2011. His previous roles include heading the preparatory committee for the National Dialogue Conference, serving as Director of the Office of President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi, being appointed as Yemen's Ambassador to Washington, later serving as Foreign Minister, before his appointment as Prime Minister
