Experts below the level of elected officials. Professionals in their field. People like Atif Mian, in the field of economics. You have elected officials above these experts, as ministers, and above them a PM for day to day operations, and above him or her, IK as the President, giving his approval or not on the general direction of policies. As president, IK can focus on traveling the country and the diaspora to hear the public and let the people see they are being heard, so that when policy is formulated the public knows their lived experiences have been taken into account.There aren't enough capable and honest (yet electable) people to pull this off. In any political party or the establishment itself. Not happening.
We don't even have student unions. All our leaders are from a select cadre of elite businessmen and landowners. Those guys aways have ulterior motives when coming to power.
IK as president can also focus on rebuilding a younger group of politicians and the student unions, so that the change in Pakistan endures; is self sustaining.
The benefit of being president is that IK can change the PM should the PM not be performing.
