“I will make all-out efforts to ensure roti, Kapra and makaan (bread, clothes and house) to every poor person,” vowed the President-elect Arif Alvi.

Do keep in mind that this is nothing But a ceremonial post with little or no constitutional Power.
As I understand it, the Pakistani president has the power of unlimited review of the bureaucracy, both civil and military, and can withhold pardons and confirmations of judicial appointments and high military commands.

Whether these powers are ceremonial or not depends on what he can make of them, I suppose.

Still! a lot can be done if the President's office is used properly.

One of Pakistan's urgent and foremost need is to develop a consensus on Kalabagh dam. President's office can be the most vital resource for this.
