IQ is more important than EQ, or vice versa? Which one is more important to have inside a leader?

I don't think that they're really comparative. I'd want someone who is both intelligent and emotionally aware and balanced.

But not everyone has both intelligent and emotionally, especially for those who working in the government department.

If had to chose only between the two than I would chose intelligence and hope for wise objectivity and fairness rather than emotional decision making.

Yeah, i agree with you, if a leader are too emotional, than the country will be doomed. Yet, intelligence and emotional is still important for a leader, if they can made it balance...

A leader must be strong in both IQ and EQ. They are both, after all, somewhat subjective, and they're supposed to measure possibilities. A true leader's possibilities must be unlimited. We all want our leaders to be outstanding individuals for the good of all they lead.

What exactly do you mean by EQ, are your referring to the emotional nature of a person or something else.
