SUBJECT: UAE STARTS A NEW CHAPTER IN HISTORY AND 
ELECTS A NEW PRESIDENT 
 
 
The UAE's Supreme Council of Rulers voted unanimously 
to elect Abu Dhabi Ruler Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al 
Nahyan President of the UAE on Nov 3. UAE Vice 
President and Prime Minister, Dubai Ruler Sheikh 
Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum, chaired the Supreme 
Council meeting shortly after Zayed's funeral. The 
Supreme Council of Rulers had 30 days within which to 
elect a new President from among its ranks. The 
timely mandate further demonstrated the desire of the 
UAE leadership to maintain stability and a smooth 
transition for the country.
