In the wake of the long-debated bat symbol issue, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has finally taken decisive action, proceeding with the allotment of election symbols to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) candidates across the country.
With the Supreme Court’s verdict settling the matter regarding the bat symbol, PTI’s candidates find themselves in a symbol shuffle, and the party’s plan to secure the batsman symbol has hit a roadblock.
Barrister Gohar Khan, PTI Chairman, confirmed that the party’s candidates would now contest independently. As a result, a diverse array of symbols has been allocated to PTI candidates. Here are some prominent figures and the symbols assigned to them:
- Gohar Khan (PTI Chairman): Kettle symbol
- Naeem Haider Panjautha and Ahmad Chatha (Wazirabad): Bowl symbol
- Zain Qureshi: Boot symbol
- Meherbano Qureshi: Chimta symbol
- Imran Shaukat (NA-152): Tunnel symbol
- Riaz Lang (NA-153): Rocket symbol
- Taimur Malik and Amir Dogar (Multan): Clock symbol
- Khursheed Khattak (PK-97): Parachuter symbol
- Sjjad Barkawal (PK-98): Transformer symbol
These unique symbols mark a departure from the iconic bat, reflecting the diverse representation of PTI candidates in the upcoming elections. The political landscape is now set for an intriguing contest as candidates adapt to their new symbols and gear up for the electoral battle ahead. Stay tuned for further updates on this evolving political saga.
