According to a presidential decree, Hadi appointed Maeen Abdulmalik to lead the new power-sharing government formed equally between the country's northern and southern provinces.

The new power-sharing cabinet was formed in accordance with a peace deal signed between the country's government and the Southern Transitional Council (STC) last year in Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh.
