After al-Mutawakkil's death in Hajjah in 1298, al-Mahdi Muhammad claimed the succession, although the imamate was not strictly speaking hereditary.
Then, however, the emir of the important stronghold Hajjah in the western mountains chose to support al-Qasim.
This time the mountainous trench of the imam was overrun, and he had to roam around from place to place, eventually establishing himself in Hajjah.
Meanwhile Sayf al-Islam Ahmad had managed to get away from Taizz and made for Hajjah, where he gathered the tribes around him, proclaimed himself Imam with the title of al-Nasir and within a month of the assassination had easily regained control of Sana'a and executed the principal perpetrators of the rebellion.
In two districts, Hajjah and Dhamar the results were cancelled due to irregularities.
