- The Twenty-seventh Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan was passed on 13 November 2025.

The bill, presented in the Senate by Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar, created a new Federal Constitutional Court of Pakistan, changed the process of transferring judges, amended Article 243 of the Constitution of Pakistan relating to the control of the armed forces and reviewed the fiscal and administrative autonomy of the provinces. While the ruling coalition claimed that the reforms were necessary to modernise governance and strengthen national security, opposition parties and legal experts said that the amendment threatened provincial autonomy and judicial independence.
