The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana will broadcast the upcoming Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting live.
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 elections.
According to information from the EC, the live telecast aims to provide Ghanaians with firsthand insight into the discussions and decision-making processes within the IPAC meetings.
The Commission emphasized that this move was made independently and not in response to any external demands, particularly those from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Dr. Rashid Tanko-Computer, the deputy director of elections and IT for the NDC, welcomed the decision, noting that it will enhance transparency and build trust in the electoral process.
He highlighted that open communication between the EC and political parties is crucial for fostering a democratic environment, especially as the nation prepares for the elections.
