President of Pakistan Dr. Arif Alvi is the fourth democratic president to complete his five-year term. President Arif Alvi’s term of office was completed in September 2023, but his term was extended due to the absence of the Electoral College, which is necessary to elect the president.
Opposition political parties and some political and constitutional experts raise questions on Arif Alvi’s role as president, saying that he also took some controversial steps.
Arif Alvi has been in the news even in the last days of the presidential term because he did not approve the summary of convening the National Assembly meeting received from the Prime Minister’s Office.
After the assembly meeting was not called despite the completion of the constitutional term of President Arif Alvi, it has been decided to call the opening session of the 16th National Assembly in consultation with the National Assembly Secretariat and the Speaker of the National Assembly.
