  • Pakistan's Domestic Political Setting
    Pakistan’s Domestic Political Setting Prepared by the Congressional Research Service for distribution to multiple congressional offices, February 19, 2013 Pakistan is a parliamentary democracy in which the Prime Minister is head of government and the President is head of state. A bicameral Parliament is comprised of a 342-seat National Assembly (NA) and a 104-seat Senate, both with directly-elected representatives from each of the country’s four provinces, as well as from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and the Islamabad Capital Territory (the quasi-independent regions of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan have no representation). The Prime Minister is selected for an indeterminate term by the NA. The President is elected to a five-year term by an Electoral College (EC) comprised of both chambers of Parliament, as well as members of each of the country’s four provincial assemblies. NA and provincial assembly members are elected to five-year terms. Senate terms are six years, with elections every three years. In recent years, Pakistan’s Supreme Court has taken actions significantly affecting governance. Pakistan’s political history is a troubled one. Military regimes have ruled Pakistan for more than half of its independent existence, interspersed with periods of generally weak civilian governance. In 1999, the democratically-elected government was ousted in a bloodless coup by then-Army Chief General Pervez Musharraf, who later assumed the title of President. Musharraf also retained the powerful title of Army Chief until his 2007 army retirement. Weeks before that retirement, the EC had “reelected” Musharraf to a new five-year term in a vote that many called unconstitutional (he resigned the presidency in 2008).

  • Pakistan Ahead of the 2018 Elections
    BRIEFING Pakistan ahead of the 2018 elections SUMMARY Pakistan will hold general elections on 25 July 2018. This event deserves attention for several reasons. With around 200 million inhabitants, Pakistan has the sixth-largest population in the world. One of the world's nine nuclear powers, it is the only Muslim country among them. It is strategically located between India, China, Afghanistan and Iran. It plays a major role with regard to Afghanistan's stability and the fight against terrorism, for which it has often been accused of connivance with militant groups. Finally, it is home to the world's second-largest Muslim population. The election is set to secure the second consecutive democratic transition of power in a country marked by chronic dualism between political and military power. The event is particularly important, given the current political turmoil following the removal of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from office. Pakistan is accused of giving support to terrorist groups. However, after the Taliban massacred 132 children at an army-run school in 2014, the authorities adopted a number of provisions to curtail terrorism. Nevertheless, the US administration, which considers Pakistan one of its key allies in the Afghanistan war, is unsatisfied with its record of fighting terrorism. The resultant US freeze on military aid to Islamabad may force the latter to switch allegiance to China and Russia, which could jeopardise Washington's efforts in Afghanistan. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) of infrastructure projects is an example of the already flourishing relations with Beijing. An EU election observation mission is monitoring the electoral process.
