1999 COUP IN PAKISTAN Pervez Musharraf, the fall of Nawaz Sharif, and Pakistan's constitutional transition

The military takeover of 12 October 1999 removed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and brought General Pervez Musharraf to power as Chief Executive of Pakistan. The episode emerged from deep civil-military tensions, the aftermath of the Kargil conflict, disputes over military command, and the immediate crisis created when the Prime Minister attempted to dismiss the army chief while Musharraf was returning from Sri Lanka. The coup began a new phase of military-led government, constitutional suspension, judicial validation for a limited period, political restructuring, a presidential referendum, and general elections in 2002.
