Explanation:

In Pakistan, General Pervez Musharraf led a military coup in October 1999.

He overthrew a democratically elected government and declared himself the ‘Chief

Executive’ of the country. Later he changed his designation to President and in

2002 held a referendum in the country that granted him a five year extension. This

referendum was based on fraud and malpractices. In 2002, he issued a ‘Legal

Framework Order’ that amended the Constitution of Pakistan. According to this

order, the President could dismiss the national or provincial assemblies.
