Campaign Blackout!

The campaign period ends at midnight tonight, Monday 15 April, 24 hours before Election Day. Campaigns conducted after that are prohibited and are an offence.

It could be in the following forms;

• Public gathering or promotional event
• Publishing a statement or advertisement promoting a candidate or party candidate.
• Conducting public opinion
• Publishing any item that imitates a ballot paper that has a picture of a candidate, a symbol, and anything that would promote a candidate.
• Displaying the name and symbol of a candidate or party
• Distribution of promotional items such as stickers, wristbands, balloons, or streamers on political party colors
• Making oral presentations that promote a particular candidate or political party.
