ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) announced Eagle as the election symbol for the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party.
This decision was reached after several weeks of deliberation following the party’s formal registration by the ECP on October 5.
The IPP, established by Jahangir Tareen and a group of defectors from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, was founded on June 8.
Former PTI leader Aleem Khan assumed the position of the party’s president just four days later.
Initially, the party gained traction as it attracted more defectors from PTI, which was grappling with the aftermath of events on May 9. However, the party’s momentum gradually waned.
Nevertheless, the party recently made headlines when Farrukh Habib and Andleeb Abbas joined its ranks in October.
It’s worth noting that in the previous general election, the ‘Eagle’ symbol had been allocated to General (retired) Pervez Musharraf’s All Pakistan Muslim League.

The SJC, chaired by CJP Isa, includes two senior judges from the apex court, Justice Tariq Masood and Justice Ijaz Ul Ahsan.
his constitutional forum holds the authority to investigate and potentially remove judges from superior courts in light of various allegations.
In addition to Justice Naqvi, complaints have been lodged against other superior court judges, and the SJC is likely to address the allegations against Justice Naqvi during the forthcoming meeting.
Justice Tariq Masood, a senior judge of the Supreme Court and an SJC member, has already submitted his legal opinion on the misconduct complaints filed against Justice Naqvi in September of this year.
The misconduct complaints against Justice Naqvi first surfaced during the tenure of former Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial. Justice (retired) Bandial had referred the matter to Justice Tariq Masood for examination and legal evaluation.
Initially, a misconduct complaint against Justice Naqvi was submitted to the SJC by Lahore-based lawyer Muhammad Dawood.
