Expert Answer

General Pervez Musharraf led a military coup in pakistan in 1999. Later, he changed his designation to President. IN 2220, he issued a 'Legal Frame Work Order' which amended the Constitution of Pakistan. According to this Order, the President could dismiss the national or provincial assemblies. It was after passing this law that the elections were held to the national and provincial assemblies. People elected their representatives, but Pakistan was not a democratic country because the provincial and national assemblies elected by people did not had much powers. Final power rested with military officers and General Musharraf. He also had the right to dismiss these assemblies.
