Next Yemeni parliamentary election
Cancelled election in Yemen
Parliamentary elections have not been held in Yemen since 2003. The term of the House of Representatives is six years, and the last elections were in 2003. The next elections were originally set for 27 April 2009, but President Ali Abdullah Saleh postponed them by two years on 24 February 2009, claiming the threat of an electoral boycott by a coalition of opposition parties called the Joint Meeting Parties (JMP).
The elections did not take place on 27 April 2011, and were planned to be held alongside the next presidential election, scheduled for February 2014. A special presidential election was held in 2012 following the Yemeni Revolution. In January 2014, the final session of the National Dialogue Conference (NDC) announced that both elections had been delayed and would occur within 9 months of a referendum on a new constitution that had not yet been drafted. However, both the General People's Congress 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 was submitted in January 2015. The Yemeni civil war began in September 2014.

Why this record matters
“Next Yemeni parliamentary election” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Next, Yemeni and parliamentary provides the most credible route into that argument.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 18, 2026.

Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
