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.

This harlote osei girl is something else.
After telling Ghana that she has 15 million people on the Electoral Register now she wants to prevent Journalist from reporting her dubious moves to rig. How could you tell us you have 15 million Electorates out of about 26 million population? Liar!!! How many millions have you added for NDC? Come and wreck Ghana and you will be first to perish. hypocrite Christian.
This is a very good example of attempt to gag the media and the populace. Never mind, we have our mobile phones to cover the elections ourselves. What at all do you want from Ghanaian Charlotte?
There she goes again! Never say die! Charlotte is simply arrogant, incompetent, evil and bent on messing this country. Everything that breeds controversy and chaos is what she takes delight in. She is simply not fit for this job. Women are supposed to be measured and sens*sible, but not Charlotte!
