The Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) has announced that the number of accreditations for the media to cover the collation of results at the constituency and regional collation centers has been increased to 4,500.
Initially, the Electoral Commission suggested a minimum of 3,308 for the number of accreditations.
At a press conference on Friday, November 29, 2024, the Chairperson of the EC announced, “The earlier memo that suggested three TV stations and five radio stations per constituency collation center, and five TV stations and seven radio stations for each regional collation center, was therefore only to ensure minimum coverage of the collation process”.
“The Commission has however agreed with the GJA and GIBA that, in spite of the space limitation at many constituency and regional collation centers, the number of accreditations will be increased from the initial suggested minimum of 3,308 to 4,500”, she added.
Jean Mensa further stated, “This amounts to 1,192 more accreditations to the constituency and regional collation centers. Once again, the 4,500 accreditation cards will be delivered to GJA and GIBA by Sunday evening.”
