She suggested that campaign seasons should be capped at six months and highlighted the importance of transparency in campaign financing, including disclosure of fund sources and amounts spent.

Speaking at the maiden National Dialogue organized by the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) in Accra, Madam Addah stated that the current political framework is inadequate in addressing these challenges.

“If we can regularise the space of campaigning, particularly with our political actors, then it helps us ground our politics in law. The current political parties’ framework does not exhaustively deal with these issues, so we believe we need a stronger regime,” she said.

“Civil society groups have already discussed this and even consulted someone to draft a bill. But what we are pushing for is a regime that reduces the period of campaigns. If that is achieved, then political actors will not need the vast resources required to prosecute an agenda over more than two years,” she added.

Madam Addah also revealed that a draft bill is under consideration, aimed at providing a legal framework to regulate both campaign financing and duration.
