The Director-General of the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), Mr. William Ampem-Darko, has stated that the GBC would not broadcast any inflammatory material or indecent language from any political party in the country.
He has, therefore, advised political parties to be civil with the language they use to enable the GBC give fair and equitable coverage to all of them.
The Director-General said this on Wednesday, this week, when the leadership of the Convention People's Party (CPP) led by its national chairman elect, Mr. Ladi Nylander visited the offices of the GBC.
According to Mr. Ampem-Darko, who was flanked by directors of various departments within the GBC any political party whose materials had violent undertone would never be broadcast by the corporation.
He also announced that his outfit would soon form internal electoral complaints committee to resolve any dispute the political parties would have with GBC without going to the National Media Commission.
Ampem Darko urged all the political parties to differentiate between political news and commercials.
Mr. Apem-Darko further announced that the Corporation had planned to meet representatives of all political parties in early February to discuss how to be in tune with the guidelines for political broadcast.
Assuring a level playing field to all political parties, he said since 2008 is an election year, GBC would not broadcast anything to the advantage or disadvantage of any political party. GBC would also not announce any provisional results during the election excepting that of the Electoral Commission (EC).
The national chairman of the CPP, Mr. Nylander who was accompanied by the newly elected executives except the national organizer, Ms. Evelyn Annabila, said CPP was a mass political party and appealed to Ghanaians to give the party a chance to obtain political power in order to fulfill the medium to send their messages across.
Mr. Nylander stated that CPP was doing everything to galvanize the support mostly from the youth, women and others to win this year's elections.
He pledged that CPP would conduct its campaign activities devoid of mudslinging and rancor.
