The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has warned candidates in its upcoming national executive election from mounting billboards as they campaign for the posts, a document sighted by Starrfmonline.com revealed.
The party will also take action against candidates who post more than 20 posters at the conference grounds.
The directive by the main opposition party comes after the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was berated over the extent of opulence through posters at its just ended conference at Koforidua.
A representative of the UK’s Conservative Party Dr. John Hayward expressed concerns over THE elaborate posters at conference grounds during his solidarity message.
“I came through the streets today and I saw so many posters of the wonderful candidates here. But I had to reflect. I think I saw more posters than the delegates at this conference and I wondered, ‘is this really the best use of our resources?’” Dr. Hayward said.
Even though the NDC is yet to set a date for its national executive elections, the directive has reportedly being given to the party members through their various regional executives.
“Aspirants are not allowed to mount billboards throughout the campaign periods.
“ Aspirants are only entitled to two banners (4×6 size) at the congress grounds.
“ No aspirant shall post more than 20 posters at the conference grounds. Aspirants must desist from personal attacks on each other on any platform. Any aspirant who violates these regulations shall be disqualified,” the directive said among others.

Dumb Ghanaian leaders. They waited for the white man to tell them that too many billboards for politicians, not the wise thing to do. This is why the - white men also insult us and tell us we live in a sh**t hole.
Who care?
great, good initiative, we start from this gradual process and we may be able to extend it to national contest by having a rigid campaign regulations and set up a task force to enforce it. any regulations that we may adopt as Ghanaians must be accompanied by sanction regime. i will be very happy as governance person if this is actually true, and if the NDC executive is able to enforce this directive. KUDOS IN ADVANCE GENERAL.
