Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed Awad Bin Mubarak submitted his resignation to the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) on Saturday, citing constitutional constraints and obstructions that hampered his reform initiatives, Xinhua reported.
In his official resignation statement, the outgoing premier revealed he had faced "lots of difficulties," including being unable to reshuffle the government and exercise his constitutional powers to implement necessary institutional reforms.
"Despite the challenges, we achieved significant financial savings for the state," he noted, pointing to over 133.5 million U.S. dollars saved in electricity fuel purchases costs within the past year.
The prime minister's resignation came as Yemen continues to face multiple challenges, including ongoing conflict with Houthi forces and economic instability.
Sources familiar with the matter indicated that "the growing tensions between bin Mubarak and PLC chief Rashad al-Alimi, had reached an impasse."
