Abdel-Aziz bin Habtour (Arabic: عبد العزيز بن حبتور; born 8 August 1955) is a Yemeni politician who served as prime minister of Houthi-led gov’t in Sanaa from 4 October 2016 to 10 August 2024.[2] On Saturday, August 10, 2024, Bin Habtour was appointed as a member of the Supreme Political Council.[3] He also served as Governor of Aden during the Houthi takeover in Yemen. He is a member of the General People's Congress, sitting on its permanent committee since 1995.[4][5] An ally of President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi, he condemned the 2014–15 Yemeni coup d'état[6] and received the deposed leader after his flight from the Houthi-controlled capital of Sanaa on 21 February 2015.[7] He is also a vocal opponent of the separatist movement in the former South Yemen, saying the movement is too fractured and small to achieve its goals.[8][9]

In October 2016, bin Habtour was appointed as Prime Minister in the Houthi-led parallel government.

Bin Habtour served as Deputy Minister of Education from 2001 to 2008 and subsequently as Rector of the University of Aden.[4]
