EC expands media accreditation to 4,500 for constituency, regional collation centres

The number of accreditations for the media to cover the collation of results at the constituency and regional collation centres has been increased to 4,500, the Electoral Commission (EC) has said.
According to the Jean Mensa-led commission, its earlier memo to its regional directors was intended to ensure there would be minimum coverage at all constituency and regional collation centres, rather than seeking to restrict media access to the collation process.
Madam Jean Mensa stressed the EC rather needed the media at this crucial stage of the electoral process, reaffirming the EC’s commitment to working with the media before, during and after the December general elections.
Speaking during a press conference on Friday, November 29, 2024, she, announced the EC will issue the 4,500 accreditation cards to the leadership of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) and the Ghana Independent Broadcaster Association (GIBA) by Sunday evening.
The EC noted the allocation and distribution of the 4,500 accreditation cards shall be done by the GJA and GIBA.
