Pakistani government

The Pakistani government is a federal parliamentary democracy, meaning elected representatives govern the country. Power is divided among three main branches: the Executive (led by the Prime Minister and President), the Legislature (National Assembly and Senate), and the Judiciary (courts). The Prime Minister is the head of government, responsible for policy and administration, while the President has a mainly ceremonial role. The government operates within a constitution that ensures laws and policies are made through elected institutions, balancing regional and national interests. Provincial governments handle local issues, working under the national framework.
