The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has confirmed that there are plans to broadcast the upcoming Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting live on Tuesday, October 1, 2024.
This unprecedented decision is part of the EC’s efforts to promote transparency and accountability in its engagements with political parties ahead of the December general election.
Sources close to the EC confirmed that the media have been invited,” and some of them may want to broadcast live”, the source disclosed to GBC.
The live Broadcast is expected to provide Ghanaians with firsthand insight into the discussions and decision-making processes within the IPAC meetings.
The Commission stressed that this move was made independently and not in response to any external demands, particularly those from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to the EC, the IPAC meeting will be about the processes that will educate the public about the register and the electoral process.
The NDC, Ghana’s largest opposition party, had previously called for the live broadcast of IPAC meetings, citing concerns over the need for greater openness in election-related deliberations.
