NDC threatens sanctions over oversized campaign posters, gives aspirants 5 days to comply

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has issued stern warnings to its members and aspirants over campaign poster and banner regulations during the party's reorganization. In a statement released on October 9, 2026, the party's Functional Executive Committee (FEC) emphasized the need to keep posters and banners within specific size limits: no wider than five feet or taller than eight feet. These restrictions apply to materials displayed at constituency offices, regional offices, and election sites.

The FEC's concerns stem from instances where oversized posters and banners were erected in various locations across the country. The committee asserts that these measures are essential to uphold order, discipline, and fairness among all aspirants in the reorganization process. Furthermore, the NDC, serving as the ruling party, is expected to demonstrate moderation and restraint, eschewing extravagance that could undermine its values or alienate the Ghanaian public.

Members and aspirants who fail to adhere to the directive are granted a five-day window, commencing October 10, 2026, to rectify the situation. The FEC has cautioned that any intentional violation of the rules will result in appropriate disciplinary action per the party's constitution, electoral guidelines, and other relevant directives. However, the committee remains optimistic about the cooperation of members and aspirants to ensure compliance with the new regulations.
