PTI Misses Deadline to Finalize Candidate List Despite Gohar's Confidence; Delay Blamed on Jail Meeting Constraints and Election Commission Symbol Issue
- Despite Gohar's prior announcement, PTI could not finalize its candidate list by the 11pm deadline on Thursday
- Gohar had confidently proclaimed earlier that day that the list would be announced by 11pm
- The delay was due partly to Gohar not being allowed to bring documents into the jail to finalize names with Imran Khan
- Another reason cited was the Election Commission's delayed issuance of PTI's 'bat' symbol
- Gohar tried finalizing names verbally with Imran Khan in jail, but had difficulty later recalling all the names discussed
