The 29th Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan is the Constitution (Twenty-ninth Amendment) Act, 2017, which aimed to allow the federal cabinet to delegate its powers to officers or other authorities. This amendment sought to enhance the efficiency of the federal government by allowing it to distribute responsibilities to specialized bodies. However, it was ultimately not passed.
The 29th Amendment is distinct from the 26th Amendment, which was passed in 2024. This amendment focused on the restructuring and operation of the Supreme Judicial Council of Pakistan. It aimed to increase the political executive's influence over the judiciary, causing concerns about the potential erosion of judicial independence.
