The Presidential Leadership Council (PLC; Template:Lang-ar) is the executive body of Yemen's internationally-recognized government, formed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, by a presidential decree on 7 April 2022, to seek a "comprehensive political solution" to the Yemeni civil war. It is headed by Rashad Muhammad Al-Alimi and has a membership of eight members.[2][3] The decree claims all powers of the president and vice president have been transferred to this council. However, the chairman is vested with sweeping powers, including the ability to unilaterally command the military and appoint governors and other key officials.[4]
