Pakistan’s Supreme Court barred former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s party from contesting elections by denying it a cricket-bat symbol at the polls, a major setback to the country’s most popular politician weeks before the national vote.
A three-judge panel headed by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa in its verdict on Saturday endorsed an Election Commission decision declining to issue the symbol to Khan’s Pakistan Tehree-e-Insaf party.
