NMC cautions media against political campaign and advertising 24 hours to elections

The National Media Commission (NMC) has cautioned the media to avoid political campaign 24 hours to elections and on Election Day in line with the Electoral Commission’s requirements.

This is contained in a press release copied to ghanabusinessnews.com today and signed by the Executive Secretary, George Sarpong.

This also includes suspension of political advertising in line with the NMC’s Guidelines on Political Advertising, the release noted.

The NMC equally wishes to encourage the media to exercise caution in the choice of radio and TV panelists or commentators to avoid inflaming passions and inciting violence before, during and after the elections, it concluded.
