The Supreme Political Council is an executive body formed by Houthi Ansarullah Movement and the General People's Congress to rule Yemen. It was formed on 28 July 2016[1] and Saleh Ali al-Sammad became president on 6 August 2016.[2] The members were sworn on 14 August 2016.[3]

On 15 August 2016, the Supreme Revolutionary Committee handed power to the Supreme Political Council.[4]

Like to the SRC, the SPC is not internationaly recognized.[5]

National salvation cabinet

On 2 October 2016, Abdel-Aziz bin Habtour was appointed as Prime Minister by the Houthis.[6] On 4 October, he formed his cabinet.[7] The cabinet is composed by members of the Southern Movement.[8] However, the cabinet is not internationally recognized.[9]

On 28 November 2016, a new cabinet was formed.[10] It is only composed by members of pro-Saleh GNC and Ansarullah Movement.

However, the UN Special Envoy for Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed said the move was "a new and unnecessary obstacle. Yemen is at a critical juncture. The actions recently taken by Ansarullah and the General People's Congress will only complicate the search for a peaceful solution. The parties must hold Yemen’s national interests above narrow partisan ambitions and take immediate steps to end political divisions and address the country’s security, humanitarian and economic challenges." He further claimed that such an action could harm peace talks.[11]
