As of January 7, 2024, Pakistan has a "federal parliamentary republic". This means that it has a democratically elected parliament with a Prime Minister as the head of government, and a President as the head of state. The current Constitution of Pakistan was adopted in 1973 and defines the country's political system.
Here are some key features of Pakistan's government:
Parliament:
The bicameral Parliament of Pakistan consists of the Senate (upper house) and the National Assembly (lower house). Members of the Senate are elected indirectly by provincial assemblies, while members of the National Assembly are directly elected by the people.
