President of the United Arab Emirates

President of the United Arab Emirates

The President is the Head of State of the United Arab Emirates. Because the current ruler of Abu Dhabi also holds the presidency, the office is "de facto" hereditary. The President is also Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces and Chairman of the Supreme Council and Supreme Petroleum Council.

The current President is Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Nahyan became president on 3 November 2004, following the death of his father, Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
