Next month's presidential election will usher in the 14th head of state to occupy the President's House. Although Dr. Arif Alvi completed his five-year term on September 8 last year, he remains in office due to the absence of other legislatures, except for the Senate of Pakistan.According to a political agreement between the PML-N and PPP, Shehbaz Sharif will vie for the prime ministerial role, while former president Asif Ali Zardari aims to become head of state again.Given their legislative support and that of their allies, both are likely to secure their coveted positions.Meanwhile, President Alvi is ready to contest for the presidency again if nominated by his party. He would be the third president in Pakistan's history to complete his term. Zardari was the first to complete his tenure, followed by Mamnoon Hussain. Alvi is poised to reclaim the distinguished role.

Pakistan Plans to Hold Election for President on March 9: Media
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is planning to hold the presidential election on March 9 just a day before the Ramadan begins, media reported on Sunday.
Next month's presidential election will usher in the 14th head of state to occupy the President's House. Although Dr. Arif Alvi completed his five-year term on September 8 last year, he remains in office due to the absence of other legislatures, except for the Senate of Pakistan.
“The president will be elected by the present senators after setting up of all the four provincial assemblies,” a senior PPP office-bearer said, adding that the election could take place on March 9 or 10.
According to a political agreement between the PML-N and PPP, Shehbaz Sharif will vie for the prime ministerial role, while former president Asif Ali Zardari aims to become head of state again.
Given their legislative support and that of their allies, both are likely to secure their coveted positions.
Meanwhile, President Alvi is ready to contest for the presidency again if nominated by his party. He would be the third president in Pakistan's history to complete his term. Zardari was the first to complete his tenure, followed by Mamnoon Hussain. Alvi is poised to reclaim the distinguished role.
