This follows a decision by the Electoral Commission (EC) to revise media accreditation for constituency and regional collation centres.
The commission had last week decided to give out a different and special accreditation, that was going to give access to the collation centres at both the constituency and regional collation centres.
Even with that, it was a limited access – eight media houses per each constituency and 12 per each regional collation centre.
And that was going to go to only radio and television stations. Newspapers and online portals had been excluded from that accreditation.
But following further deliberations between stakeholders, the commission has revised the accreditation arrangement.
The new arrangement is that, any media personnel with the photo accreditation can access collation centres in addition to the polling stations.
