The EWC has deployed 71 observers including 14 nomination observers, seven regional coordinators -each for a region and 53 constituency observers, each representing a constituency to monitor the conduct of parliamentary candidates\u2019 nomination and campaigns in their respective regions.<\/p>\n

Speaking in a EWC monthly presser on election observation, Njegen Jobe, chairperson for EWC said: \u201cThe official campaign has not started yet but EWC has reported witnessing or hearing of some violations of the code of campaign ethics for parties.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor instance, observers in four constituencies heard instances where voters were offered money for their cards. As well, in five constituencies observers witnessed political parties or candidates distributing cash or other gifts to voters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking further, she said observers in other five constituencies heard of such instances occurring in their areas. \u201cObservers noted a variety of political parties are participating in this violation,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, on behalf of Election Watch Committee, Ms Njie recommended the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) and the Inter Party Committee (IPC) to closely monitor the actions of political parties to ensure they comply with the Code of Conduct of Election Campaign Ethics. The free and fair election advocate further reminded political parties to refrain from vote buying.<\/p>\n
