Sanaa: Former Yemeni President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi passed away today at the age of 80 following a health crisis.

Yemen TV announced in a brief statement that Hadi died at his residence in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.

Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi was elected President of the Republic of Yemen in February 2012, succeeding the late President Ali Abdullah Saleh, in accordance with the Gulf Initiative supported by the United Nations and endorsed by Yemeni political parties.
