“While 20 are elected by a group of selected citizens, the other 20 comprise of Supreme Council Members and the Rulers of the UAE. ”
Pretty sure that there are no Supreme Council members on the FNC but they probably select the other half.
A piece in The National recently stated that some of the candidates themselves don’t know the function or purpose of the FNC.
