Abstract
Good governance and local government institutionsare intimately connected. Local government system is essential to empower citizens and enable themto participate in policy-making at grass-roots level. In the modern era, the concept of local democracy has gained currency. In Pakistan local democracy is a neglected sector. The 18th Constitutional Amendment has made the federating units as the custodians of the local government institutions. However, the provinces have failed to introduce viable local bodies. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial government introduced Local Government Act (LGA), 2013. The microscopic analytical case study of the existing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa LGA, 2013 reveals some hidden structural flaws which have severe repercussions for local democracy and good governance.
