Federalism in Pakistan

Pakistan is a federal parliamentary republic, with powers shared between the Federal government and the provinces. Relations between federation and provinces are defined in Part V(Articles 141–159) of the constitution. Many Pakistani parties support a federalist and regionalist agenda advocating for increased powers to be held by the provinces. The Ministry of Inter Provincial Coordination manages federal relations between provinces while the Senate of Pakistan is an important body giving representation of the provinces of Pakistan in national governance.
