UJP Leader

The Congressional Leader of the United Justice Party (UJP) of al Badara is the most senior member of the UJP Congressional Caucus. The Leader is elected by the Congressional Caucus and is assisted by the Deputy Leader, who is also elected by the Caucus. The Leader is responsible for setting party policy (although this is subject to the approval of the Caucus and General Convention), and is generally the Party's candidate for Premier.

The current Leader is Aaliya bint Rami al-Balkhi, who has led the UJP Congressional Caucus since August 3380, and the Deputy Leader is Jabir Tablib Sleiman, in office since March 3376.

Elections
The Leader and Deputy Leader of the UJP Congressional Caucus must both be elected. The instant-runoff voting system is used to elect the leadership in separate elections. The two leadership positions can only be put up to vote if a spill motion (which can be called by either the UJP National Executive Committee or any member of the Caucus) is successful, or the Leader/Deputy Leader agrees to hold a spill, resigns, dies, is incapacitated, or is disqualified.

The only Leader and Deputy Leader not to be elected by the Caucus was Alhasan Budail Malouf and Fayyad Mumtaz Ganim, respectively; they were appointed to the posts by the National Executive Committee as interim leaders in the early years of the party.
