3 November


A state of emergency was declared by Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf on November 3, 2007, and lasted until December 15, 2007, during which time the  constitution of Pakistan was suspended.When the state of emergency was declared, Musharraf controversially held both positions of President and Chief of Army Staff . He later resigned as army chief 25 days into the emergency on November 28. The state of emergency and its responses are generally attributed to the controversies surrounding the re-election of Musharraf during the  presidential elections on October 6, 2007, including his holding of both offices of President and Chief of Army Staff at the time.
