The Electoral Commission (EC) has reversed its previous decision to limit the number of accredited media organisations allowed at collation centers for the 2024 general elections.
This announcement was made by Deputy Commissioner, Dr Bossman Asare during the "Graphic National Development Series" event held in Accra on November 27.
The Graphic National Development Series was on the theme: "Sustaining Civic & Democratic Governance Systems for Development, Mandate of All Citizens." The reversal came after consultations with the Ghana Independent Broadcasters Association (GIBA) and the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), following significant backlash regarding the initial accreditation limitations.
Dr Asare emphasised that the original intent was not to hinder media coverage but to ensure effective management of the electoral process.
