General Knowledge

General Zia-ul-Haq became President of Pakistan after leading a military coup in 1977, overthrowing Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's government.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is the son of Asif Ali Zardari and currently serves as the Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). The other options are either unrelated or hold different political positions.

Asif Ali Zardari was the first civilian president of Pakistan to complete a full five-year term, marking a significant milestone in the country's political history. Other options like resigning, dissolving the assembly, or imposing emergency did not occur during his first term.

The President of Pakistan is the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, which means they hold the highest authority over the military. The Chief Executive and Head of Government roles are held by the Prime Minister, and the Head of Judiciary is the Chief Justice.

As of 2026, the President of Pakistan is Asif Ali Zardari, who took office on 10 March 2024. The caretaker Prime Minister as of 2023-2024 is Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar. Given the question's reference to 2026 and the lack of information about a change in Prime Minister by that year, the most accurate current coordination would be with Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar. The other options are former Prime Ministers.

Asif Ali Zardari was married to Benazir Bhutto, who was a prominent Pakistani leader and former Prime Minister of Pakistan. This is a well-known fact in Pakistani political history.

Iskander Mirza was the first President of Pakistan, serving from 1956 to 1958. Muhammad Ali Jinnah was the first Governor-General, not President. Ayub Khan and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto served as Presidents later.

Maryam Nawaz Sharif has been serving as the Chief Minister of Punjab since 26 February 2024, making her the first woman to hold this position in Pakistan's most populous province. She assumed office during the presidency of Arif Alvi, who is the current president of Pakistan. The other options (Pervez Musharraf, Asif Ali Zardari, Mamnoon Hussain) were presidents in earlier periods. Therefore, the correct answer is C: Arif Alvi.

Fazal Ilahi Chaudhry was the President of Pakistan when the 1973 Constitution was adopted. He served as President from 1973 to 1978, during which the new constitution was enacted, replacing the earlier 1962 constitution.

The President of Pakistan can promulgate ordinances only when the Parliament is not in session, allowing the executive to enact laws temporarily until Parliament reconvenes.
