ISLAMABAD – Supreme Court of Pakistan on Saturday turned down an attempt by PTI to retain its iconic electoral symbol of bat, in the latest setback for former ruling party as the country heads to general polls.
Imran Khan’s party, at odds with country’s powerful quarter and political rivals, saw massive crackdown and now its voters will not be able to identify electoral symbol. With PTI stripped of the cricket bat symbol, party candidates are taking part in election using individual symbols, which according to experts could puzzle voters.
After the late night verdict of apex court, ECP shared final lists of candidates for National and provincial assembly seats in Lahore.
