Mohamed bin Zayed elected UAE’s new president
ANKARA (AA) – Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan was elected Saturday as the new president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the state news agency WAM reported.
“The Federal Supreme Council elects Mohamed bin Zayed as UAE President,” WAM said in a brief Twitter post.

UAE Vice-President Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum pledged allegiance to the incoming president.
“Today, the Federal Supreme Council elected my brother, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, as President of the State,” bin Rashid, who is also the ruler of Dubai, posted on Twitter. “We congratulate him, and we and our people pledge allegiance to him.”
