The President of Pakistan was elected, not through a public vote, but through the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan. Iskander Mirza, who was the last Governor-General, was elected unopposed as the first President of Pakistan.

Ayub Khan (1958–1969): Took over in a coup, later confirming his presidency through a referendum in 1960 and an election in 1965.
