Presidential Leadership Council

The Presidential Leadership Council is the executive body of Yemen's internationally recognized government, formed on 7 April 2022. It is chaired by Rashad al-Alimi and initially had a membership of eight, including representatives from the Southern Transitional Council (STC). The decree claims all powers of the president and vice president have been transferred to this council. However, it also vests the chairman with sweeping personal powers, including the ability to unilaterally command the military and appoint governors and other key officials.
