The National Election Committee (NEC) approved the final list of the elected members of the Federal National Council (FNC) during its fifth meeting. The Committee reviewed reports on the progress of the electoral process, explored opportunities for improvement, and endorsed the decision of its Appeals Committee concerning the elections.

Commencing proceedings, NEC congratulated the UAE President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and their Highnesses the Supreme Council Members and Rulers of the Emirates on the success of the fourth cycle of the elections.

The Committee praised the unwavering support and guidance of the UAE leadership in ensuring international best practices across all stages of the election cycle.

His Excellency Abdulrahman bin Mohamed Al Owais, Minister of Health and Prevention, Minister of State for FNC Affairs, and Chairman of NEC, said: “Today, we celebrate another milestone on the UAE’s journey of political development. Our parliamentary system is maturing with every election towards empowering all citizens to choose their preferred candidates. We have now reached a new stage of Tamkeen, the UAE’s political empowerment program announced by His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan in his 34^th National Day speech in 2005.”  

He added: “The strong participation of voters nationwide and overseas testifies to the high level of political awareness and keenness of the UAE citizens to fulfill their national duty.”

Following the announcement of the preliminary results of the FNC elections, NEC’s Appeals Committee reviewed six appeals under the provisions of Article 64 A of the Executive Regulations. All of these were rejected due to lack of strong evidence that would invalidate the preliminary results.
