The origin of the local government system can be traced back to the Basic Democratic System founded by late President Ayub Khan. The institutions built by him were dissolved after Z. A. Bhutto stepped into power in 1970, but reactivated again by President Zia throughout the country to elect the following tiers of the Local Councils. Elections for the local bodies in Balochistan were held in 1979, 1983, 1987 and 1991. Local government institutions were dissolved in December 1996 throughout Balochistan.
