The NEC has previously banned the use of government departments, public facilities, places of worship, schools, universities, and other public and private educational institutions and the headquarters of associations and civil institutions in electoral propaganda. The commission has previously determined the electoral propaganda activities permitted by law or by decisions it issued. Campaigning for the presidential election began on Saturday.
