Respect Campaign Financing Rules, Avoid Hate Speech – WAEON Urges Political Parties

Accra, Oct 11, GNA – Reverend James Lahai, Chairperson of the West Africa Election Observers Network (WAEON), has advised politicians to adhere to regulations on campaign financing and to avoid hate speech.

Speaking at a press engagement in Accra on Thursday, he urged political parties, particularly the incumbent, to comply with legal requirements regarding campaign spending and to refrain from enticing voters with cash or gifts.

He emphasized that such measures would help prevent compromised electoral outcomes that could lead to violence, especially amid growing economic challenges.

The admonition follows a joint pre-election solidarity mission to Ghana by the West Africa Democracy Solidarity Network (WADEMOS) in partnership with WAEON.

The event was hosted by the Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) and the Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), a member of the WADEMOS Network.
