The head of Yemen’s newly formed presidential council, Rashad al-Alimi, has been sworn in along with other members of the eight-member council in a ceremony in the southern port city of Aden.
Members of the presidential council arrived from Saudi Arabia over the past few days.
The ceremony was conducted on Tuesday in front of members of the Yemeni parliament, which was last elected in 2003.
The event was not announced in advance for security reasons.
Yemen’s Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalek Saeed, along with other senior government officials, had also arrived in Aden, which serves as Yemen’s temporary capital, before the swearing-in ceremony.
It remains unclear whether the government and the presidential council will remain in Aden, or whether members will return to Riyadh, as they have previously done since the beginning of the war.
