In the NA-40 Tribal Area-V district all candidates were registered as Independent. The winner was Mohammad Kamran Khan from Wazir Mada Khel, his father is Zakim Khan (note: There is a person in Afghanistan with the same name)

In NA-40 the number of registered voters was 96,448, but Mohammed Kamran Khan was the winner with 6,000 he used Spectacles as a symbol, Aurangzeb Khan (Inkpot with pen) 5,194, Abdullah Shah (Gun) 4,006, Abdul Qayyum (Tower) 3,800, Mohammed Ajmal Khan (Cup & Saucer) 2,106, Ahmed Jan (Teapot) 52 and Dr. Shahid Rauf (Pomegranate) 8 votes. In total 21,166 i.e. 22 %.

This means that the symbols of learning got the majority of the votes Spectacles and Inkpot with pen. But I'm not so sure about the results; 6,000 and 3,800 and the fact that no one voted for the other candidates i.e. the Bridge, Foot ball, Tumbler, Tower, Bus, Crown, Takhti, Bowl, Fan, Jug, Loudspeaker, Torch, Mango or Brick!

I assuming these symbols are used due to a low literacy rate. Is that correct?
