Journalists interested in covering the 2016 general elections are expected to pay in order to be issued with accreditation for the national exercise.
The amount to be paid is yet to be determined by the Electoral Commission, a statement by the electoral body said. “Accreditation tags will be given to only those who have formally applied for it and for a fee to be determined by the Commission,” the statement signed by Eric Kofi Dzakpasu, Head of Communications at EC, said on Monday.
Media organizations, the statement said, have from today Monday, 31st October to Monday 7th of November 2016 to apply for accreditation. “All requests for accreditation should be sent through the Regional representatives of the GJA to the Communications Unit of the Electoral Commission or by email at: [email protected],” it said.
The Commission warned that any request submitted after the deadline of 7th November, 2016 will not be considered.
This would probably be the first time the media is being asked to pay to access EC’s accreditation to cover national elections, but efforts to reach the Electoral Commission for clarification were futile.
Media institutions are to submit names of personnel, emails, contact number and the name of the media house for the accreditation.

Ghanaians and in particular Nana Addo and the NPP should wake UP PRETTY FAST because what is coming is not be pretty GOOD for all Ghanaians ; they should not stick their heads in the sand like ostriches because there is a plan to eliminate journalist from the scene so they are unable report what is actually happening ; the same scenario or plan is building up with disqualification of the Presidential aspirants ; it is a plan by Jon Mahama and Asiedu Nketia to rig this elections ; WHY IS THE EC CHARGING JOURNALIST TO FOLLOW THE CREDIBILITY OF AN ELECTION ; HOW DID WE GET OURSELVES INVOLVED WITH THESE EVIL NDC KRIMINALS ; THE NDC AND OTHER GHANAIANS SHOULD BE PREPARED TO RISE AND FIGHT TO THE DEATH ; BECAUSE GHANAIANS WILL NOT ALLOW THIS THIFFS JON MAHAMA INTPO POWER AGAIN !!!!!!!

I DON'T KNOW IF EC IS NOW A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY GIVING COVERAGE AND MEDIA RIGHT FOR A FEE. MADAM WHY? IS THIS THE LEGACY AFARI GYAN LEFT FOR YOU TO DRAG IN THE MUD? HMMM! MAHAMA ACCOMPLICE INDEED.
This current EC under the leadership of Madam Osei will plunge Ghana into a deep ditch. Is she looking for the situation where someone will take her to court to prevent this action? I thought all her budget is footed by the state, minus what foreign donors bring. So what does she need the money for? I cant think far ooo!
These are signs that the EC commissioners are corrupt and a bunch of illegals. Can someone tell me why they keep inviting controversy every minute? Who is really advising the EC?
