Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has moved the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) over ticket approval of PTI-Nazriati group candidates, reported 24NewsHD Saturday.
The development came after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chalked out a Plan B by directing its party candidates to submit tickets on the symbol of ‘batsman’.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Shoaib Shaheen filed the plea in ECP which stated the PTI-Nazriati candidates are facing issues in applying tickets for general election 2024.
He urged the commission to direct the Returning Officers (ROs) to accept the tickets of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Nazriati candidates.
Earlier today, after sensing the danger of losing its iconic symbol ‘bat’, PTI has directed its candidates to file nominations under the PTI-Nazriati group, where the election symbol is ‘batsman.’
The chairman of PTI-Nazriati, Akhtar Iqbal Dar, issued tickets to PTI’s candidates on the symbol of batsman.
Furthermore, PTI has directed candidates to register complaints with the district, provincial, and central election commissions if ECP refuses to accept their tickets.
PTI also instructed candidates to submit written complaints to the district and provincial election commissioners. As per the election schedule, candidates are bound to submit party tickets before Jan 13.
