{{main|Government of the Islamabad Capital Territory}}
The government of the Islamabad Capital Territory is provided by the federal [[Government of Pakistan]] and by a number of territorial bodies. Article 258 of the [[Constitution of Pakistan]] stipulates that the [[President of Pakistan]] is responsible for establishing the government of the federal capital and the [[Parliament of Pakistan]] makes laws for the territory.<ref>{{cite web |author=<!-- not stated --> |date=28 February 2012 |title=The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan |url=https://na.gov.pk/uploads/documents/1333523681_951.pdf |website= |location= |publisher=[[National Assembly of Pakistan]] |access-date=19 February 2025}}</ref> Although the federal government retains strategic power over the territory, the day to day government is carried out by a number of bodies, which have been established over the years.

The [[Capital Development Authority (Islamabad)|Capital Development Authority]] (CDA), established on 14 June 1960, was responsible for building the capital and continues to have some government roles. The [[Islamabad Capital Territory Administration]] (ICTA) was established in 1980, and is led by a Chief Commissioner, who holds powers similar to a provincial government. The [[Islamabad High Court]], established in 2007 (dissolved in 2008, re-established in 2010) is the senior court of the territory and is equivalent to the four provincial high courts. The [[Islamabad Metropolitan Corporation]] (MCI), established in 2015, is the municipal authority and is equivalent to a [[Districts of Pakistan|district government]], as the upper tier of the local government in the territory. The CDA has been gradually transferring many of its roles to the MCI.

At the most local level, there are 101 [[Union council (Pakistan)|union councils]], though this is due to increase to 125 councils.
