Islamabad: The Election Commission has given the lantern symbol to Awami National Party.

The Election Commission has delivered a safe decision regarding the Awami National Party’s (ANP) intra-party election in which the commission has allotted its old election symbol, the lantern, to the ANP.

The Awami National Party had asked for a 6-month respite for the intra-party elections, on which the Election Commission said that the 5-year term of the ANP has not yet been completed, the election campaign is going on in the country and the political parties are in it. Therefore, ANP should hold intra-party elections by May 10.

The Election Commission also imposed a fine of 20 thousand rupees on the Awami National Party.

It should be noted that the issue of Tehreek-e-Insaf’s bat symbol is also under hearing in the Supreme Court.
