The Senate of Pakistan consists of a total of 96 members.

The 1970 assembly framed the 1973 Constitution which was passed on 12 April and promulgated on 14 August 1973.

The 1973 Constitution provides for a parliamentary form of government with a bicameral legislature, composed of the National Assembly and the Senate.

The government of Gen. Pervez Musharraf raised the membership of the Senate from 87 to 100 in 2002.

In 2018, the number of seats were reduced from 104 to 96 following the merging of FATA with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through 25th amendment.
