and insisting that they join the circle of Hadi, raising worries that the VP will not succeed in fighting corruption and having his own agenda.
The source said that the ruling family wants to ensure that they are in control, even if it means being so indirectly.
More than 140 Saleh inner circle officials are trying to sideline those close to Hadi and replacing themselves instead.
"They just don't give up. The Vice President will be forced to give in to the demands of the ruling family. The pressure is mounting while he is not even president yet," the official told Yemen Post.
President Saleh signed the GCC power transfer proposal last month agreeing to transfer all his powers to Hadi for the next 90 days, where he will remain as the honorary president with no authorities.
On February 21, 2012, Hadi will take lead of Yemen and be elected the next president of Yemen for a two-year term.
