. Both the Senate and the National Assembly have seats reserved for women, technocrats, and religious minorities. Senators are elected for six-year terms, with staggered elections every three years, whilst members of the National Assembly are elected for five-year terms. The Constitution provides for the President to address the federal legislature together at the start of the first session after any general elections.

The National Assembly elections that were held in October 2002 had 91 women elected to its Parliament - the largest number and percentage of women in the parliament of any Muslim-majority country.

Although the elected government of 2002 had a number of failures in its tenure, from failures in foreign policy, rise in terrorism, gagging free speech of media, political parties and the people, taking the judiciary as a hostage, failure in microeconomics, destabilizing the institutions on the whole, it still somehow is the first elected government in Pakistan's history to complete its full 5 year term.This Government also pumped some much needed lifeline into the economy by getting crucial economic aid from the United States as well as by bringing foreign investment into its economy from various countries.

Each province has a similar government setup with a Provincial Assembly elected for a five-year term through multi-party elections, which in turn elects a Chief Minister - the executive head of the province. The Chief Minister nominates a candidate for the office of Provincial Governor and the Provincial Assembly ratifies the nominee for a five-year term.

Pakistan Recently held its Parliamentarian election on Feb 18 2008. The Party of Slain Leader Benazir Bhutto, Pakistan People's Party parliamentarian (PPPP) won 120 seats in the National Assembly while Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif won 90 seats in the National Assembly. President Musharaf's ally party Pakistan Muslim League Quaid-e-Azam (PML-Q) came a distant third with 51 seats.After the elections The People's Party Parliamentarian and the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz announced a coalition to form the new government alone with Awami National Party (ANP) which is also a part of the coalition. The finalization of the government is currently underway however the coalition has choose n Syed Yousuf Raza Gailani as the new Prime Minister of Pakistan. The New Cabinet of ministers shall be decided upon and sworn in soon. Important ministries will be divided among the coalition. No one trust today's government.
