Suppose you are contesting for a political party in Pakistan, whose election symbol is a spoon, then you may not be able to imagine what kind of entertainment your election campaign will provide to people. If your name is Khan and as an independent candidate you have been allotted the symbol of Pulag, chances are quite high that you will be written and called as Pulag Khan after this election. In the same way, if a candidate is found by the Election Commission to have election symbol of a drill machine, nail cutter, donkey cart or shoes, then to estimate how the global society and social media of Pakistan will treat this candidate. A man does not have to be a Hippocrates. It may come as a surprise to you that Pakistan’s election symbols promoting a narrative of peace include a gun and a hammer.Modern items like laptops, mobile phones and mobile chargers have also been included in the list of election symbols, but audio cassettes are still in the list of election symbols even though audio tapes have become obsolete in Pakistan.

In this load-shedding country, the list of election symbols includes generator, emergency light, lantern, sun and gas cylinder.

Work to make them better and more effective and align them with the ground realities of Pakistan and in this regard, if necessary, hire experts. Election symbols have also been a means of using religious sentiments for political purposes. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the founder of Pakistan People’s Party, chose a sword as his election symbol in accordance with his name (Zulfiqar). Speakers in their meetings linked this sword to Islamic history and this technique proved to be very effective in gaining popularity among a particular sect. Similarly, it is said about Muttahida Majlis-e-Alam that they try to gain political advantage by connecting their election symbol with the holy book. By creating a metaphor, the powerful people of Punjab try to win the hearts of the people. Tehreek-e-Insaf tried to obtain the election symbol of the bat in order to take political advantage of the passion for cricket among the young generation of Pakistan, but could not succeed.

A faction of the splinter party led by former Pakistan Peoples Party leader Naheed Khan was still trying to get the sword and PTI’s breakaway leader Ayesha Gula to get the symbol of the bat. These electoral symbols, including phrases such as the roar of lions and the roar of lions, have also been used to criticize others and castigate opponents. Just as a good electoral symbol increases the chances of success, a bad electoral symbol increases the chances of candidates. It also leads to an increase in The Muslim League-Q, which was defeated in the 2008 and 2013 elections on the symbol of a bicycle, got fed up with the taunts of having punctured a bicycle and got the election symbol of a tractor this time. Sometimes the importance of election symbols is not much in front of the popular leadership and the popular party. In the past, after declaring Nawaz Sharif ineligible, the court also stopped the candidates of Muslim League-Nun from using the lion symbol, so even in these circumstances. PML-N candidate also won from Bhalwal with pickup election symbol. In the past, when he wanted to reduce the popularity of a political party, he tried to deprive that political party of its electoral symbol as well. A tactic to reduce the votes of one’s opponent has been to field an anonymous candidate against him with an election symbol similar to his election symbol, like many candidates during the Benazir era had a pencil election. A symbol was given which was similar to an arrow, so some simple-minded voters of PML-N were also mistaking the cat and cow for lions. Election symbols are sometimes used for nefarious political purposes. Powerful circles wanting to influence the future government formation have also been making independent candidates contesting elections across Pakistan on the same election symbol.It should be noted that due to waiting for the decision of the Supreme Court, the Election Commission extended the time of allotment of election symbols 6 times.
