The newly-appointed judge succeeded Ahmed al-Moussai, a military commander affiliate to the Islamist Islah party who was appointed as attorney general in mid-January 2021, by Yemeni President Hadi.
The decision to appoint al-Moussai sparked a dispute between the Yemeni presidency and the STC, as the latter considered the decision unilateral and in violation of the Riyadh Agreement.
