Imran Khan's Party Regains Cricket 'Bat' Symbol; Khan's Nomination Rejected
Ahead of the February 8 general elections, the Peshawar High Court has restored the PTI's electoral symbol, while the Lahore High Court upheld the rejection of Khan's nomination papers.
- Imran Khan's party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has won back its iconic cricket 'bat' electoral symbol after the Peshawar High Court declared the election commission's decision to revoke it as unconstitutional.
- The court's decision comes ahead of the general elections scheduled for February 8, providing a significant boost for the PTI.
- However, the Lahore High Court upheld the rejection of Khan's nomination papers for two National Assembly constituencies due to his conviction in the Toshakhana case.
- The Election Commission of Pakistan had previously stripped the PTI of its electoral symbol, citing violations of the constitution and election laws during its internal organisational elections.
- The PTI's legal battles may not be over, as it is expected that the election commission will challenge the court's decision in the Supreme Court.
