Shahbaz Sharif on the Move

Aalsi is right in quoting that the Presidential Order does indeed combines CM and PM office for term limits.

CM has probably some valid legal reasonings as to why the whole deal is unconstitutional.

And though..

I personally think term-limits is a good idea in mature democracies to ensure leaders don’t become dinosaurs and fresh leadership keeps coming up.

However…

I am absolutely appalled that they mixed the offices of CM and PM in term limits. Makes no sense. Its part of natural progression that a person is CM of a province for 2 terms, and then moves on to larger national ambitions, and tries to become PM of the whole country. While setting up term limits, why mix the two in combo for term limits?* Sometimes our dictators and their legal cheelay chamchay go way over-board, even when embarking on an otherwise nobel cause. Blah!!

  • Just as an example of some democracies, I don’t think UK has any term limits (someone correct me) for PM. In US, while there are separate term limits for certains Mayors, Governors and President, terms are not combined or mixed to determine term limits.
