Candidates from Imran Khan’s party will contest next month’s national vote in Pakistan as independents, using different election symbols after the country’s top court barred them from their traditional cricket bat image.
The former prime minister’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party said it developed an online portal to inform supporters about the list of approved candidates participating in the Feb. 8 elections. The candidates will reportedly contest the elections under an array of vote symbols ranging from a roller coaster to a goat.
