PPP allotted SWORD symbol for elections

F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has been allotted a “sword” symbol for elections, on Thursday.

PPP General Secretary Syed Nayyar Hussain Bukhari appeared before the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for the allotment of the election symbol. Upon Bukhari’s request, the ECP allotted the symbol to the PPP.

In his statement after getting the desired election symbol, Bukhari said it is a matter of honour for Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to win back the election symbol of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s party.

‘Sword’ was among the three symbols that were deleted from the list of election symbols during the days of former military ruler Gen Ziaul Haq after the 1977 polls — the other two being plough and scales.

It is to be noted here that PPP founder Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was also allotted a sword symbol for elections.
