Top vote-getter on reserve list takes seat
The mechanism for filling vacant seats in the Federal National Council was established three months before the end of the council's term, in accordance with the relevant decisions and regulations. After the death of Council Member Saeed Al Abadi, his replacement was the highest-ranked candidate from the reserve list in the same Emirate, according to Article 67 of the National Election Committee Decision No. 25 of 2023. If a seat becomes vacant before the end of a member's term, the ruler of the respective emirate is notified, who then appoints a replacement within 60 days. The appointment is formalized through a federal decree, and the new member serves the remaining term of their predecessor.
