Prior to unification, each of the two countries had its own Prime Minister: the Prime Minister of the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen and the Prime Minister of the Yemen Arab Republic.
When Aden seceded as the Democratic Republic of Yemen for a number of weeks in 1994, Haidar Abu Bakr al-Attas served as the Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Yemen.
