Line 33: The two factions were at war with each other until Saleh attempted to overthrow the Houthis. This power grab failed, however, and the former president as well as party secretary general [[Aref al-Zouka]] were killed in the [[Battle of Sana'a (2017)\|Battle of Sana'a]] of late 2017. Following Ali Abdullah Saleh's death, the GPC fractured further, with a large part of the former Saleh followers pledging allegiance to the Houthis. This pro-Houthi part of the GPC continued to support the rebel government in Sana'a, and elected [[Sadeq Ameen Abu Rass]] as new GPC chairman. One member of the pro-Houthi faction explained that "Ali Abdullah Saleh was killed by the Houthis. If we follow his direction and resist the Houthis, we will meet the same end as Saleh. So we prefer to support the strongest force on the ground."<ref name="leader dies"/> Another group of Saleh loyalists fled from the Houthis. Though this GPC faction then allied itself with Hadi and the [[Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen\|Saudi Arabia-led international coalition]], it still remained completely ~~seperate~~separate and chose Ali Abdullah Saleh's son [[Ahmed Saleh]] as new ''de facto'' leader. Meanwhile, the former president's nephew [[Tareq Saleh]] began to organize a new [[private army]] for this GPC faction.<ref name="leader dies"/> == Election results ==
