Yemen’s Supreme Political Council, a coalition between Ansarullah and General People’s Congress party, has announced its members.
The 10 member council is equally divided between members of Ansarullah and GPC party, according to an official list released on Saturday.
“We have chosen the members of the Supreme Political Council, hoping they help the country face the unabated Saudi aggression and to unite the Yemeni people in one front,” Supreme Political Council member Hussain Hazieb told a Press TV correspondent in the Yemeni capital Sana’a.
The council, which is tasked with running the country, was initially announced in July, following which Yemeni people staged a mass rally in the capital to voice their support for the coalition.
“This is a historic day, Yemenis have become triumphant against all plots. Today is the day we began enforcing all laws and restoring order in the county,” said another council member, Sadiq Abdura’as.
The announcement of the council members comes as UN-backed negotiations between Yemeni warring sides in Kuwait have failed to restore peace in the embattled country.
