Akbar S. Babar to challenge PHC’s verdict on ‘bat’ symbol
PESHAWAR: PTI founding member Akbar S. Babar has announced to challenge the Peshawar High Court’s (PHC) verdict, suspending the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) declaration and restoring the party’s electoral symbol “bat”. On Dec 22, the electoral watchdog stripped Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) of its electoral symbol “bat’” symbol in a decision on founding member Akbar S Babar’s petition challenging the intra-party elections to be in line with the rules. The PTI later filed a petition in the Peshawar High Court (PHC) earlier today challenging the ECP’s decision. Following the hearing, the PHC suspended the ECP’s decision nullifying PTI’s intra-party polls
