Bat-less PTI banks on social media to make up for electoral symbol loss

Bat-less PTI banks on social media to make up for electoral symbol loss!

The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) after being deprived of its iconic electoral symbol by the Election Commission (ECP), has decided to take advantage of its strong social media network to communicate with its supporters in addition to setting up a portal featuring the party’s candidates alongside their electoral symbols for Feb 8 polls.

Taking it to X-platform, the former ruling party informed its supporters that a portal to search for candidates and their symbols had been created.

“See the video below showing a search for ‘NA-1’ and the results with the candidate name and symbol. We are just waiting for data for each candidate before we go live! #ChallengeAccepted,” PTI explained.

According to PTI Information Secretary Raoof Hasan, the portal would be fully functional within two days.

“There will be two separate portals for the National and provincial assemblies. We will share the links of these portals through social media sites and our voters will be able to identify the national and provincial assembly candidates backed by the PTI for their constituencies,” he told Dawn.
