Elections in Yemen
Yemen elects on national level a head of state (the president) and a legislature (the House of Representatives). There is universal suffrage for those age 18 and older.Yemen is usually considered a dominant-party state with the General People's Congress (GPC) in power. Opposition parties are allowed, but are widely considered to have no real chance of gaining power. The president is elected for a seven-year term by popular vote from at least two candidates endorsed by legislature. The first nationwide direct presidential election was held in 1999. Following the 2011–12 revolution, president Ali Abdullah Saleh (the GPC leader) was forced to step down in 2012, marking the end of his 33-year rule. The acting president Abd Rabbuh Mansur al-Hadi's mandate was confirmed for a two-year term in the 2012 presidential election, where he ran unopposed. The House of Representatives (Majlis al-Nuwaab) has 301 members, elected for a six-year term in single-seat constituencies. The last legislative election took place in 2003 due to the repeated postponement of the election originally set for 27 April 2009. In January 2014, the final session of the National Dialogue Conference (NDC) announced that both presidential and parliamentary elections had been delayed, and would occur within 9 months of a referendum on a new constitution which had yet to be drafted. However both the GPC and Houthi representatives on the National Authority for Monitoring the Implementation of NDC Outcomes have refused to vote on the new constitution drafted by the constitution drafting committee, which submitted it in January 2015.
