flag Pakistan’s 27th Amendment centralizes power, boosting military influence and reducing provincial autonomy, sparking concerns over democracy and accountability.

flag Pakistan’s 27th Constitutional Amendment, passed with a two-thirds majority and signed by President Zardari, centralizes power by reducing provincial autonomy and expanding military influence over national policy, finance, and governance. flag The change, described as a structural shift toward centralized control, strengthens federal authority and deepens the military’s role, with critics calling it the "Asim Munir model"—a system where military elites shape key decisions while civilian leaders hold limited real power. flag The move undermines federalism in a diverse nation and raises concerns about accountability, as the military becomes directly responsible for economic and social outcomes. flag While supporters cite stability and controlled democracy, critics argue it prioritizes short-term control over long-term cohesion, eroding public trust and governance transparency.
