About

Mujawar received education in Algeria and France as an economist before heading numerous divisions at the University of Aden. His appointment as Minister of Electricity in February 2006 saw him receive recognition for his stance against corruption. President Ali Abdullah Saleh appointed Mujawar as Prime Minister in April 2007 in an effort to revive the economy and combat corruption.

Following the anti-government uprising in Yemen, Saleh fired Mujawar and the other members of his cabinet on 20 March 2011, but asked them to remain in their positions until a new government was formed. Mujawar remained loyal to Saleh during the revolution, and was considered by him as a potential replacement for Vice President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi. Mujawar injured in a June 2011 mosque bombing alongside Saleh, and was subsequently treated in Saudi Arabia. After returning in August, he remained in his position until 10 December, when the Gulf Cooperation Council-stipulated deal signed by Saleh the previous month required him to step down as prime minister. Disinterested in local politics, Mujawar was approved by Hadi as the head of Yemen's mission to the UN in Geneva.
