The Election Commission of Pakistan has announced a reserved decision regarding the Awami National Party (ANP) intra-party election in which the commission has allotted its old election symbol, the lantern, to the ANP.

The Awami National Party had asked for a six-month respite for the intra-party elections, on which the ECP said that the 5-year term of the ANP has not yet been completed, the election campaign is going on in the country and the political parties are in it. Therefore, the ANP should hold intra-party elections by May 10.
