Aslam-mu-Alakum !!

i am very much happy that steemit Engagement Challenge Season 5, Week 1 has been started and my this article is to take participate in the challenge of Steem4Nigeria community that is about Elections In Country . i wrote every facts and points about election in my country. that has been asked in the challenge. i also shared my experience of election that are my eyewitness and i heard from my close friends about election.

_{Tell us the governance type in your country and how effective you think it has been in running the country's affairs.}

I live in a very beautiful country Pakistan. The system of monarchy in Pakistan is democratic. The system of government in Pakistan is spread over different levels. The two house system of government runs in Pakistan. One is called the lower house and the other is called the upper house.

In the Lower House, the Prime Minister is called the Leader of the House and his opponent is the House of Representatives and the Leader of the Opposition is called the Leader of the Opposition. The Lower House is also called the National Assembly. National Assembly System Speaker runs the National Assembly.

The National Assembly has a Speaker and a Deputy Speaker who conduct the session of the National Assembly. After the National Assembly, the upper house which is called the Senate conducts the meeting in the Senate. Thus, it is the Davaivan in which government representatives sit.

The government representatives in this lower house are elected by the people through voting and then these representatives sit in the National Assembly and run the system of government.

The Upper House is elected by the people's representatives sitting in the National Assembly and Provincial Assemblies. Pakistan has a federal government and then each province has its own government.

All governments are chosen by the people by voting in elections. Each province has its own chief minister and then under him are the ministers of each department. Thus, the ministers are accountable for the performance of their respective departments. If seen, all these government representatives have failed to solve the people's problems.

Pakistan currently has a democratic system of government, but actually this system has been held hostage by a few corrupt and thieving people. At present, the government of Pakistan seems unable to solve all public problems.

The poor and middle class are worried and fed up with this government. I will say that this system of government, which is controlled by corrupt individuals and families, has completely failed to run the government affairs and solve the problems of the people.

_{What are the election methods employed in your country and do you consider them effective? Do you also participate in the Exercise?}

The procedure of election in Pakistan is that elections are held here every five years. And every Pakistani who is 18 years old can vote for the candidate of their choice in the election.

Elections in Pakistan are for National Assembly and Provincial Assembly. A candidate for the National Assembly is called an MNA and a candidate for a Provincial Assembly is called an MPA.

Elections are held on party basis in Pakistan. Each party fields its candidates for the provincial and national assembly and thus the candidate who gets more votes is declared the successful candidate. The entire election system is controlled by the Election Commission of Pakistan. Before the election, each candidate conducts his campaign for a month and the public is expected to vote for him.

If I say for myself and as a Pakistani, this system of election is not at all effective because the people of Pakistan think that there is a lot of rigging during the election and the election commission tries to get the powerful people through fake votes.

Second, the opinion of the people is completely ignored in this election and the powerful people along with the Election Commission give the election to the corrupt and incompetent people.

This is the reason why this system of election has become very ineffective and people are fed up with this system of election. I have voted for the candidate of my choice three times in my life.

But I also say that this system is ineffective and people want to change it. All elections in Pakistan are held on the same day, provincial and national, and then the party that wins the most candidates and the party that gets the majority forms the government.

_{Share your recent experience in participating in one. Rate the process- fair, good, or bad.}
Elections in Pakistan were held in 2018 and I voted for the candidate of my choice but in the previous election all the parties in Pakistan made accusations of rigging and I heard from one of my classmates that during the election in his area a person made 50 Voted.

Thus, with the video evidence on social media, people saw that corrupt people have rigged the vote along with the Election Commission and the government. Thus, due to all these situations, the people's favorite candidates are defeated in the elections.

All these incidents are very common. And we are eyewitnesses of some events, votes are bought in the public. This is the reason why today every Pakistani is speaking against the corrupt system.

I would rate this election system two out of ten because it is a corrupt system which is flourishing under one corrupt election commission.

_{Would you suggest a method of electing leaders to power? Discuss your method.}
I want a democratic system of government in the country.

And a democratic system which is presidential style and the people vote for the leader of their choice and then that leader runs the system of government by choosing the best educated and capable people to serve their country.

In a presidential system, the people elect a party or leader of their choice and then that leader forms his government. I want presidential system in Pakistan.

In the presidential system, the people elect only one leader, while in the current system, the people elect national and provincial candidates.

In this system, the winning candidate changes his loyalties by taking money, while in the presidential system, the people elect a leader and that leader, after winning, forms his own government and chooses the best and most capable people in the government, including service and Hard work pays off.

In a presidential system, the term of government should be four years and presidential elections should be held through voting. Apart from this, overseas Pakistanis should also be allowed to participate in the elections and electronic EVM machines should be used for voting to prevent the possibility of rigging.

_{Would you prefer other forms of governance different from the one you have already and why?}
As I have said above that I want a presidential democratic system in the country. I want the system of government in the country to be brought down to the lower level and the population of villages, small towns should be included in the government. All the people from the district level to the district level should be empowered. The judicial system should be made effective in the small population.

Currently, the system of government is up to the provincial and federal levels. All government institutions are accountable to the provincial and federal governments. A provincial assembly candidate works at the province level. But the small town lacks development.

Hospitals, educational institutions, judicial system should exist in every city and village and all this is possible only when the representatives of these areas and cities are in the government. The government is the only successful concept that starts development work from the grassroots level, but at present the situation is very complicated. Small towns have many advantages.

And the problems of such cities can be solved only by the elected people of those cities if they are empowered. But these corrupt and fraudulent representatives who contest and win district and provincial level elections do not even raise their voice for the interests of the people.

I want that every village, city, district, tehsil and union council level should have representatives of the government and these representatives should be elected by the people of that city and then the responsibility of all development work should be given to these representatives.

Only this system can work for the welfare of the people. This system is also known as Local Government System.
