Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf PTI Candidates Symbols for election 2024 NA and PP.The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has designated symbols for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) candidates who are now contesting as independent candidates, following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the Peshawar High Court’s (PHC) January 10 order.
In a recent late-night ruling, the Supreme Court upheld the ECP’s December 22 decision, stripping PTI of its trademark poll symbol – the ‘bat.’
A three-member bench, led by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa and including Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar and Justice Musarrat Hilali, declared the verdict after an extensive day-long hearing. This decision was announced shortly before the expiration of the fifth extended deadline provided by the election watchdog for the submission of party tickets by aspiring candidates.
In the aftermath of the verdict, PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan announced that all party candidates would now participate in elections as independent candidates.
Here is the PTI Candidates Symbols for election 2024:
Barrister Gohar Ali Khan: “Teapot”
Shaukat Yousafzai: “Racket”
Shahryar Afridi: “Bottle”
Shandana Gulzar: “Bowl”
Shah Mahmood Qureshi’s children (Mehr Bano Qureshi and Zain Hussain Qureshi): “Chimta” (Tongs) for NA-151 and “Shoe” for NA-150 constituencies in Multan, respectively.
