Local Government 2001 was a political tool to give some sort of legitimacy to dictatorship of Musharaf just like BD system of Ayub era. Furthermore, LG 2001 gave more powers to local government representatives as they were going to be used in stealing public mandate in elections.
Present setup of local government vary from province to province because as per 18th amendment every province is entitled to make its own legislation for working of local government. Sindh local government act 2013 is glaring example in this regard. However, under current system, local representatives lacks autonomy.
