Field Marshal Abd Rabbuh Mansur al-Hadi (Arabic: عبد ربه منصور الهادي; born 1945[1]) is a Yemeni politician who has been the Vice President of Yemen since 3 October 1994.[2][3] Between 4 June and 23 September 2011 he was the acting president of Yemen, when Ali Abdullah Saleh left for medical treatment in Saudi Arabia, after being wounded in an attack on the presidential palace during the 2011 Yemeni uprising.[4] Then, on 23 November, al-Hadi became acting president again, after Saleh gave up power "in return for immunity from prosecution." Al-Hadi was "expected to form a national unity government and also call for early presidential elections within 90 days" while Saleh continued to serve as president in name only.[5]
He was born in 1945 in Abyan.[1] His name can also be spelled Abd Rabu Mansur Hadi, Abd Rabbah Mansour Hadi or Abdurabu Mansour Hadi, among other variations.
He joined the Army of South Yemen in 1970 and became a Major General in early 1990.
He became Vice President of Yemen after Ali Salim al-Beidh resigned and lost the civil war. Al-Hadi was appointed by President Ali Abdullah Saleh as Vice President on 3 October 1994. Before his appointment as Vice President, he was briefly the Minister of Defense.
