Electoral Commission's selective Press briefing sparks outrage

Electoral Commission's selective Press briefing sparks outrage

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) has sparked controversy by hosting a press conference that was ostensibly open to all journalists, but ultimately proved to be a selective affair. The EC had posted an artwork on their Facebook page on Monday September 2, inviting journalists to a press conference to address concerns about illegal voter transfers to the Pusiga constituency

However, upon arrival at the EC’s Head Office in Accra, journalists from various media houses were informed by a police officer that only select media outlets, listed on a paper, would be allowed to enter the auditorium to cover the briefing. This unexpected restriction caused confusion and disappointment among the journalists who had gathered outside, many of whom had traveled significant distances to attend the event.

The police officer stated that the EC had instructed him to only permit those on the list to attend, which led to frustration among those who were denied entry and left unattended. The EC’s artwork which was posted on Facebook had not indicated that the press conference was by invitation only, leading to widespread disappointment and outrage.

Many journalists criticized the EC for their lack of transparency and inclusivity. The incident has raised questions about the EC’s commitment to fairness and accessibility, and has sparked calls for greater transparency in their dealings with the press.
