[pakistanitarzan]

Hello Friends,
Can someone please explain how do presidential election work in Pakistan? I do not know how the system work. Furthermore, I would also like to know what are the dates of the election? In other words, what month would that be likely to happen and also, when does the new government takes office?

Thanks for answering all those questions in advance.
Have a good day

the president is chosen by voting in national assembly and provincial assembly after presidential candidate from all parties are nominated, the guy with greatest aggregate of both assemblies (national and provincial) wins and becomes the president

I wish Imran Khan wins the next election. He is the only hope for the time being.

No I don't think. Every politcans person in Pakistan is deep fraud. Imran Khan, to me is like 'Yes We Can' by Obama motto message. Low-quality leaderships last sixty-five years, that's all we got so far, next person will be the same.

I don't mean to troll, but to answer your question, they don't work.

That is a ridiculous comparison.
Imran Khan is not Obama and Obama is not IK.
By your logic, if 1 person fails a math test, then no one should ever take a math test because they will all fail.

IK has a proven track record of doing what he says.
I can understand your pessimism but don't let it cloud you to the reality on the ground.

I seriously do not agree with all of Imran Khan's policy but at the same time, once again, I beleive that he is the only hope for Pakistan if elections are fair. What that in mind, how can there be fair elections in Pakistan?
