      <title>Plan C? With no symbol available, PTI tries new strategy</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30347725/plan-c-with-no-symbol-available-pti-tries-new-strategy</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was deprived of its election symbol on Saturday after the Supreme Court ruled that it had not conducted intra-party elections as per its own constitution. The party has essentially been knocked out of the elections.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, after the snub from the SC and after its plan B regarding PTI-Nazriyati fizzled out, PTI has come up with yet another strategy to organise its campaign.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a video posted to X, PTI announed that it was setting up a database where everyone will be able to search the name of their constituency and will be shown who the PTI candidate there is and what symbol they are contesting on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, the party clarified that the website has not been made live yet as it is collecting data from across the country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--embed  media--uneven'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;
    &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
        &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/PTIofficial/status/1746435069655343569?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1746435069655343569%7Ctwgr%5E4410e7b3b47ea1b350eb3a83ea00c32e2193b5e5%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aaj.tv%2Fnews%2F30365731"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While the tool can come in handy to identify PTI-backed candidates who are all being allotted a &lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/news/30347707/kettles-boots-and-clocks-here-are-the-symbols-being-allotted-to-pti-candidates"&gt;variety of electoral symbols&lt;/a&gt;, it is too early to say if the strategy will work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The party has already reported that many of its backed candidates have gone ‘missing’ and an online database could expose them to more dangers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  sm:w-1/3  w-full  media--right  media--embed  media--uneven'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--newskitlink  '&gt;    &lt;iframe
        class="nk-iframe" onload="setInterval(()=&gt;{try{this.style.height=this.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight+'px';}catch{}}, 100)"
        width="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="height:400px;position:relative"
        src="https://www.aajenglish.tv/news/card/30344544"
        sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-popups allow-modals allow-forms"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, the strategy is likely to have middling success in a country where internet connectivity is limited.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even in areas, where internet is available, it has often been slowed down in recent days often coinciding with PTI’s online events.&lt;/p&gt;
