In their 6 February 2015 "constitutional declaration" after seizing control of the Yemeni capital and much of former North Yemen, and the failure of Thursday talks between the Houthis and Yemen's many political parties that were aimed at forming a government to replace Hadi and his cabinet, the group declared the committee would act as Yemen's interim authority. The committee was given the task of forming a new 551-seat parliament, which would then select a five-member presidential council to rule the country for two years.{{cite news|url=http://www.columbian.com/news/2015/feb/06/yemen-shiite-rebels-takeover-country/|agency=The Columbian|title=Yemen's Shiite rebels announce takeover of country|date=6 February 2015|accessdate=6 February 2015|first=Ahmed|last=al-Haj}}

The president of the committee was Mohammed Ali al-Houthi.

On 15 August 2016, the Supreme Revolutionary Committee partially handed power to the Supreme Political Council.{{Cite web|url=https://www.saba.ye/en/news437023.htm|title=SRC hands over authority to SPC|date=August 15, 2016|website=SabaNet - Yemen News Agency SABA}}
