The president and vice presidents are de jure

elected every five years by the Federal Supreme
Council, and the prime minister of the United
Arab Emirates is de jure appointed by the
president.[3] De facto, the ruler of the Emirate of
Abu Dhabi holds the presidency and the ruler of
the Emirate of Dubai holds the premiership. The
president is also the commander-in-chief of the
UAE Armed Forces.

Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan was widely

credited with unifying the seven emirates into
one nation. He was the UAE's first president from
the formation of the UAE until his death on 2
November 2004. He was succeeded by his son,
Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed, who died in office on 13
May 2022.[4] Following his brother Khalifa's
death, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan
was elected the third and current president of
the UAE by the Federal Supreme Council on 14
May 2022.[5]
