The four
provincial governments of Pakistan administer the four
provinces of
Pakistan. There are also two territories and two
disputed regions which have similar governments but with some differences. The head of each province is a non-executive
Governor appointed by the
President, on the advice of the
Prime Minister. The Governors play a similar role, at the provincial level, as the President does at the federal level. Each province has a directly elected
unicameral legislature (provincial assembly), with members elected for five-year terms. Each provincial assembly elects a
Chief Minister, who then selects a cabinet of ministers from amongst the members of the Provincial Assembly. Each province also has a
High Court, which forms part of the
superior judiciary.
