A refrendum is a direct vote in which an entire electorate is asked to either accept or reject a particular proposal. This may result in the adoption of a new constitution, a constitutional amendment, a law, the recall of an elected official or simply a specific government policy. It is a form of direct democracy

General Pervez Musharraf took the following steps to enhance his position-
1. He led a military coup in 1999.
2. Then he overthrew the elected government and declared himself the 'Chief Executive' of the country.
3. In 2002, he changed his position to president and got a 5 year extension by a referendum
4. Through this referendum, General Musharraf got the power to make final decisions.

Answer:

A referendum on allowing Pervez Musharraf to continue as President for five years was held in Pakistan on 30 April 2002. The proposal was approved by 97.97% of voters. However, the referendum was boycotted by the opposition on the basis that it was unconstitutional. Although turnout was reported to be 56.1%, the opposition claimed it was between 5% and 7%. The poll was criticised for being "marred by gross irregularities" by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan.
