Governor (Arab Union)

In the Union of Arab Republics (UAR; informally the Arab Union), governor (Arabic: محافظ muḥāfiẓ) is the title of the official sent by the Government of the Arab Union to govern, on its behalf, one of the union's unorganised territories; the equivalent office in organised territories and the 20 republics of the Arab Union is called premier, although unlike a governor, premiers are elected by their republic or the devolved assembly of their organised territory. Governors are typically appointed by the President of the Arab Union on advice of the Prime Minister.
