According to the ECNBA, candidates and their supporters are strictly prohibited from posting, issuing, printing, publishing, or displaying any campaign material until the Electoral Committee officially opens the campaign period. The ECNBA stresses that any violation of this directive will result in immediate disqualification of the candidate in question, who will subsequently be barred from participating in the elections.
The notice further clarifies that campaign activities will only be permitted once the Electoral Committee officially declares the campaign period open and outlines the specific guidelines and limitations as stipulated in the NBA constitution.
Attached to the communication is the ECNBA Notice, which provides further details on the regulations governing campaign activities.
The announcement comes as the NBA gears up for its 2024 elections, highlighting the ECNBA’s commitment to ensuring a fair and transparent electoral process.
