Senate output increased in 2025-26, scrutiny weakened: Pildat
The Senate passed 97 bills in 2025-26, a significant increase from 51 in 2024-25, but Pildat reported weakened institutional scrutiny, declining attendance, and a 23-month vacancy in 11 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Senate seats. The 27th Constitution Amendment was passed rapidly within 24 hours, raising concerns about deliberative depth.
