He became the de facto leader of Iraq after President Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr resigned, largely due to health issues and internal party pressures.

Al-Bakr became president and Saddam was nominally his deputy as vice chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council. However, Saddam gained increasing powers within the Ba'athist party and soon became the de facto ruler. When a union between Iraq and Syria was proposed, Saddam persuaded the increasingly frail al-Bakr to step down, and assumed the office of President. This was followed by a massive purge of Saddam's enemies within the party.
