Abstract
General Pervez Musharraf made a significant contribution to the development of Pakistan
during his regime from 1999-2007. In his tenure, he always focused on maximizing the
performance of Punjab because it housed a significant number of people and powerhouse in the
Pakistani politics. Subsequently, he introduced local government system which he believed to
deliver better services to the general public at grassroots level. The implementation of local
government system has created different challenges that the government of Musharraf faced at
that time and the policy implications that existed that harmed the overall government system.
The main focus of this study is to develop a sustainable case study analysis based on the local
government system implemented by Musharraf and determine the possible factors that have had
a significant impact on the poor performance of the local government in his tenure. Research is
entirely based on conducting quantitative and qualitative study analyses because they are both
essential to study the overall local government of Musharraf implemented in Punjab and focus on
the sustainable development that it has brought to the growth of Punjab. The questionnaire was
constructed to collect the data concerning the qualitative study analysis. This study argues that
Musharraf's local government had a huge impact on Pakistan's development. During Musharraf's
reign, the opposition parties had a constant effect on local administration. The decrease in
government's performance may be attributed to one element alone and that is opposition. As a
result of its prominence in Punjab's local government, societal change has a significant influence
on the total local government.
