Abstract
This study examined the dynamics of General Ayub Khan's influence on Pakistan's National Assembly from 1962 to 1965. It scrutinized the Assembly's formation, functioning, and powers, as well as the president's impact on legislators and legislation. The research revealed how Ayub Khan's needs and wishes shaped the Assembly's workings, with a focus on his validation of martial law, electoral processes prior to the assembly, and the presidential constitution. Employing a qualitative content analysis technique, the study assessed the interplay between Ayub Khan's authority and the Assembly's operations for fulfilling the needs of dictator. The findings showed that the Assembly largely served to endorse the dictator's agenda, highlighting the limits of democratic representation under authoritarian rule. The study concluded that Ayub Khan's influence was instrumental in shaping the Assembly's decisions, ultimately consolidating his power and legitimizing his regime. It presented a view that there was no representation of the assembly members in cabinet and procedure of approval for financial affairs of the country. The research provided insight into the mechanisms of authoritarian governance in Pakistan during this period, underscoring the Assembly's role in reinforcing the dictator's rule.
