A new proposed constitutional amendment in Pakistan—labelled the 27th Amendment—may grant expanded powers to the country’s military leadership, particularly the army chief. The deliberations follow the increasing public role of Field-Marshal Asim Munir and highlight debates regarding civil-military balance. The government has confirmed that the amendment will be tabled in Parliament for review. Critics caution that enhancing military authority without commensurate civilian oversight may undermine democratic accountability and judicial independence. Supporters argue that the changes may streamline defence coordination and strengthen national security governance. For media and the public alike, the amendment raises profound questions about Pakistan’s future governance architecture, the role of the armed forces and how constitutional reform intersects with democratic consolidation.
