Frequently asked questions
Which Pakistan office holders are asked most?
The President, the Prime Minister, the Chief Justice, the Chief of Army Staff, the chiefs of the navy and air force, the DG ISI, the Chief Election Commissioner and the Governor State Bank head almost every paper's Pakistan list — all are marked on this page and re-verified whenever they change.
Are provincial chief ministers and governors included?
Yes — all four provinces, plus the President and Prime Minister of Azad Jammu & Kashmir and the Governor and Chief Minister of Gilgit-Baltistan. Provincial offices are favourite questions in PMS and provincial-service papers.
What happens when an office changes hands?
The entry is updated with the new holder and the date they took office, after verification against official or news sources. During the CJP's foreign visit in late October 2026, for example, the acting chief justice is listed separately with his exact acting dates instead of overwriting the substantive holder.
