However, the EC had earlier rejected the NDC\u2019s request, stating that live broadcasts were not necessary at the time.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent development, the EC appears to have shifted its stance, emphasising that the live telecast is intended to foster confidence in the electoral process and not a direct result of the NDC\u2019s pressure.<\/p>\n<p>The IPAC meeting, which brings together representatives from all registered political parties and the EC, is an important platform for discussing electoral reforms, operational challenges, and strategies for ensuring credible elections.<\/p>\n<p>Given the approaching 2024 general elections, the upcoming session is expected to cover crucial topics such as voter registration, election logistics, and the integrity of the electoral roll.<\/p>\n<p>The NDC, which had previously criticised the EC\u2019s reluctance to broadcast IPAC meetings, has welcomed the decision. In a statement, the party indicated that the live telecast would allow Ghanaians to observe the proceedings and assess the fairness of the process for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has announced plans to broadcast the upcoming Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting live on Tuesday, October 1.
