The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has announced that it will broadcast the upcoming Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting live on Tuesday, 1 October 2024.
The landmark decision is part of the EC's commitment to ensuring transparency and accountability as the country prepares for the 7 December polls.
This will mark the first time in Ghana's history that an IPAC meeting is broadcast live, allowing the public to witness firsthand the discussions and decisions that shape the electoral process.
According to the EC, the live telecast will give Ghanaians the opportunity to directly engage with and understand the electoral strategies, reforms, and challenges being discussed. "The decision to broadcast the IPAC meeting was made independently by the Commission to promote transparency," the EC noted in a statement, emphasising that the move was not driven by pressure from external parties, including the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which had previously advocated for live coverage.
