In March 2013, Bin Mubarak was elected as the secretary general of the national reconciliation dialogue conference, composed of representatives of all political parties and civic groups, tasked with carrying out reforms.

Bin Mubarak was promoted from Chief of Staff and appointed Prime Minister by President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi despite Houthi opposition, citing a lack of an official agreement resolving the conflict.

Bin Mubarak was abducted by gunmen believed to be loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh in Sana'a on 17 January 2015.
