The prime minister of the Republic of Yemen is the head of government of Yemen.

Contents

Under the Constitution of Yemen, the prime minister is appointed by the president, and must, like his cabinet, enjoy confidence from the House of Representatives.

History

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]
