Answer: Yemen
Notes: Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) appointed Shaya Mohsen Zindani as the new Prime Minister. The appointment follows the resignation of former Prime Minister Salem bin Breik in mid-January 2026. The change is part of ongoing government restructuring led by the council amid political challenges. The leadership transition occurs as the country continues complex negotiations over governance, including talks with southern separatists. The new Prime Minister is tasked with stabilising state institutions and navigating Yemen’s ongoing political dynamics.
