The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced its plan to provide regular media briefings on election day, Saturday, December 7.

In a statement released on December 4, the Commission said the press briefings will provide updates about the happenings on the election day.

According to the EC, only media personnels with accreditation to the National Collation Centre will be permitted to cover the press briefings.

The first press conference is scheduled at 7am on the election day after which subsequent briefings will take place at 12 noon, 3pm, 9pm and until the election results are declared.

EC says these press briefings will not take more than 30 minutes each.

“The Commission will also use the Media Briefings to respond to any stories and reports from around the country.

“The Commission therefore urges the Media and the General Public to verify any reports on the elections with the Commission to avoid sharing unverified stories on their platfonns,” the statement said.

The Commission reiterated its commitment to deliver fair, transparent, credible and peaceful elections and looks forward to working with the media to bring the elections and its processes to the doorstep of citizens.
