"There is no compulsion in religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong."— Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:256.

One (1) representative shall be elected for every twenty-five (25) registered Party members in a defined Region. Any Region with fewer than twenty-five (25) registered members shall, without exception, nonetheless be entitled to elect at least one (1) representative. No Region shall, under any circumstances, be left without representation in the General Council, regardless of the number of registered members within that Region.

To give effect to this formula, the General Secretary shall prepare and maintain an illustration sheet showing: (a) the electoral formula applied; (b) the verified member count for each Region; and (c) the resulting number of General Council seats allocated to each Region. This illustration sheet shall be updated and republished at least once every quarter (every three months) and additionally immediately prior to each intra-party election, and shall be made available to Party members and to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) upon request.

Definition of 'Region'

For electoral purposes, a 'Region' is defined as a recognized administrative division of Pakistan — namely a district, division, or province — as officially notified by the Party prior to each intra-party election. A clear and publicly available list of all such Regions, together with the verified registered membership count for each, shall be maintained and published by the General Secretary before each election cycle to ensure transparency, consistency, and fairness. The General Secretary shall maintain, update, and publish regional membership records at least quarterly and before every intra-party election, for the purpose of determining the strength and composition of the General Council.

Elections for all leadership and representative positions shall be conducted strictly in accordance with the periodic election timeline set out in Article 13 (including the five-year regular election cycle, and any applicable by-elections conducted under Article 13.6). The registration of a new member shall not, by itself, require, delay, or accelerate any scheduled election.

New members shall become eligible to participate as voters in intra-party elections only after completing six (6) months of continuous, verified membership immediately prior to the announced date of the relevant election. New members who have not completed this six-month threshold by the election date may attend and observe the election process but shall not be eligible to cast a vote until they satisfy this requirement.

Consistency Note: This six-month voter eligibility requirement is applied uniformly and without contradiction across Article 12 and Article 13 (including Article 13.3(3) and Article 13.5(3)) of this Constitution.

Article 13: Intra-Party Elections

13.1 Purpose

Intra-party elections are a cornerstone of PMP(F)'s democratic framework. They empower members to choose their leaders at all levels, ensuring internal accountability, participatory governance, transparency, and representativeness.

13.2 First Election — Transitional Provision (One-Time Only)

For the Party's first (foundational) round of elections only, and as a narrow, one-time exception to the general contested-election requirement of Article 10.4, key leadership positions — including the Chairman, President, General Secretary, and other essential office-bearer roles identified in Article 8.2 — may be elected on an unopposed basis where: (a) only one candidate is duly nominated for the position concerned; (b) the nomination has been publicly notified by the Election Commissioner for a period of not less than fifteen (15) days; and (c) no valid objection to the nomination is raised within that period. Subject to these conditions being met, such nominees, including a nominee for the office of Chairman, shall assume office without contest.

This exception does not contradict Article 10.4. Article 10.4 requires that elections be conducted by secret ballot under the oversight of the Election Commissioner; this requirement continues to apply to the first election in full. The only narrow exception created by this Article 13.2 is that, for the first election alone, a position with a single duly-nominated and unobjected-to candidate may be declared without a contested poll, since no contest exists to be balloted. Where two or more candidates are nominated for any position — including the office of Chairman — in the first election, that position shall be filled by contested secret ballot in the same manner as all subsequent elections under Article 13.3.

Justification: This transitional provision ensures smooth and timely establishment of the Party's foundational leadership structure during its formative stage, enabling focus on organizational building, member outreach, and policy development. This is strictly a one-time provision applicable only to the Party's foundational election and shall never be relied upon in any subsequent election cycle.

All subsequent intra-party elections, without exception and including the election to the office of Chairman, shall be fully contested in alignment with democratic principles and Article 10.4, ensuring robust participation and representative leadership.

13.3 Subsequent Elections — Contested

After the first transitional election, all future intra-party elections shall be contested, with multiple candidates eligible to compete for each position.

  • 13.3.1 Election Timing: Elections for all positions — including Chairman, President, General Secretary, Vice Presidents, and all other office-bearers — shall be conducted before the expiry of every five (5) year term, in accordance with Section 208(1) of the Elections Act, 2017. No term shall be extended beyond the statutory five-year limit.
  • 13.3.2 Nomination Process: Any eligible Party member may nominate themselves or other qualified members. The list of nominated candidates shall be made public by the Election Commissioner within a stipulated timeframe prior to the election date.
  • 13.3.3 Election Procedure: Elections shall be conducted through a secret ballot. All members of the General Council (or other designated electoral body) who meet the six-month continuous-membership eligibility threshold set out in Article 12.4 shall be eligible to vote. The Election Commissioner shall oversee the entire process.
  • 13.3.4 Election Results: Results shall be publicly announced. Candidates securing the highest number of valid votes shall be declared elected and shall assume office immediately upon declaration of results.

13.4 Reserved Seats for Women (Minimum 5%)

To ensure gender inclusivity, a minimum of five percent (5%) of leadership positions shall be reserved for women across all councils and levels of the Party, including the General Council, Executive Council, and provincial and local levels.

13.5 Electoral Integrity

  • 13.5.1 An Oversight Committee shall be formed to monitor the election process, ensure adherence to constitutional provisions, and safeguard impartiality and credibility.
  • 13.5.2 An Election Dispute Resolution Committee (EDRC) shall be established to receive, review, and resolve election-related complaints; ensure due process; and issue final and binding decisions within a specified timeframe.
  • 13.5.3 Voter Eligibility: Only members who have maintained continuous membership for a minimum of six (6) months prior to the announced election date shall be eligible to vote. This requirement is identical to, and applied consistently with, the voter eligibility requirement set out in Article 12.4, with no contradiction between the two Articles.

13.6 By-Elections in Special Circumstances

If a leadership position becomes vacant due to resignation, removal, death, disqualification, or any other valid reason prior to completion of the regular term, the Party shall conduct a by-election to fill the vacancy. The by-election shall be held within ninety (90) days from the date the vacancy arises and shall follow the same procedures, eligibility criteria, and oversight mechanisms as regular elections.

Until the by-election is held, the Party may designate an interim or acting office-bearer from within the eligible ranks for a period not exceeding the ninety-day by-election window. This interim arrangement is non-extendable.
