== Candidates ==
Ali Abdullah Saleh has been president of modern Yemen ever since its reunification in 1990. Prior to reunification, Saleh was the president of Yemen Arab Republic from 1978 to 1990. He became Yemen's first directly elected president in 1999, winning more than 96% of the vote.
On 17 July 2005, Saleh announced that he would not run for presidency in the 2006 election and later reconfirmed his decision on 21 June 2006 while addressing fellow party members. This announcement sparked demonstrations of thousands of Yemenis urging Saleh to reverse his decision as well as demonstrations of thousands urging Saleh to follow through with his decision. However, while addressing tens of thousands of supporters in Sana'a on the 24 June 2006, Saleh rescinded his earlier decision stating "I comply with the people's pressure and upon the people's desire; I will run in the coming polls." This is not the first time Saleh has reversed the decision to not run; he did so in the 1999 election.
On 2 July 2006 a coalition of opposition parties named Faisal Bin Shamlan as their candidate. Prior to the reunification of South and North Yemen in 1990, Shamlan was the Minister of Infrastructure and Oil in the socialist government of South Yemen.
