A nazim (Template:Lang-ur, from the word for "organizer" or "convenor") (similar to Mayor) is the coordinator of cities and towns in Pakistan. Nazim is the title in Urdu of the chief elected official of a local government in Pakistan, such as a District, Tehsil, Union Council, or Village Council.
The name which is used for the president of Islami Jamiat Talaba Pakistan is Naazim-e-aala. Naazim-e-aala is elected for 1 year and after cmpleating that tenoure all the members of IJT whome are called (Arkaan)elect a new one. The "Chief Nazim" a.k.a District Nazim is elected by the Nazims of Union Councils, Union Councillors and by Tehsil Nazims, who themselves are elected directly by the votes of the local public.
Pakistan originally had a system, inherited from the time of British rule, in which a Mayor was the head of a district. However under the Local Government Act, the role of the Nazim is different from that of a Mayor with more power. The Nazim System was introduced after the Commissionerate system, that was imposed during British rule, was lifted by the Government of Pakistan. Now there is no Commissioner for any of the division, Deputy Commissioner for the districts and Assistant Commissioners, after the Local Government act was imposed in the country in 2001, except Islamabad, the federal capital where still the Commissionerate system is running. Now the new government in 2009 again imposed the commissionerate system in the country and restore all the divisions but the Nazims are still working.
