Yemeni female Noble winner and human rights advocate, Tawakel Karman, has affirmed that the protesters will continue camping in their protests in Change Square, the protests focal point, in the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, and in freedom squares across the country until the revolutions demands are met.
"Today is a great day for Yemenis as its represents the official departure of the tyrant and the end of his 33- year-long repressive rule," she said to journalists on Wednesday.
She urged the elect President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi to heed the demands of the youth, warning that if he did not meet the revolutionary youth's demands they will overthrow him just as they toppled his predecessor, Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Karman, a mother of three, spearheaded protests against Saleh's autocratic rule in Sana'a, and has won the Nobel Peace prize for her peaceful activities in the Yemeni revolution as well as for her human rights advocacy.
She has cast her ballot in women polling center in the Change Square, where she is still camping along with tens of thousands of Youth who call for change and better governance.
Yemenis went in large numbers to the polling centers across the country to say yes to Hadi and close the book on the long autocratic rule of Saleh, who is reportedly on his way back to the country to attend the swearing-in ceremony of his long time confidante and predecessor Hadi.
The revolutionaries demand that Saleh's relatives, who still hold key posts in Yemeni military institutions, be removed. And this for many analysts is Hadi's biggest challenge in the transitional phase.
