Accra, Feb. 25 – The Information Services Department Ghana (ISD) has called on media organisations wishing to cover the 69th Independence Anniversary Parade to apply for accreditation ahead of the event.
The parade is scheduled for Friday, March 6, at the Jubilee House forecourt.
In a statement signed by Acting Director Dr Winifred N. Mahama and copied to the Ghana News Agency, the Department directed interested media houses to submit an official assignment letter indicating the names and contact details of nominated journalists or camera crew to accreditation@isd.gov.gh.
The deadline for submission is Friday, February 27, 2026, at 1700 hours.
Due to space limitations and the anticipated high number of applications, each media organisation will be granted only one accreditation slot. However, outlets that already possess accreditation to cover the Presidency may deploy their designated reporters for the ceremony.
The statement indicated that all approved photographers and videographers must report to the venue by 0645 hours for security screening and positioning. Accreditation badges must be visibly displayed at all times.
Media personnel are required to comply strictly with directives from security officials and media liaison officers and remain within assigned media areas throughout the programme.
Only professional camera and video equipment will be permitted. The use of drones or aerial devices is prohibited unless prior written authorisation has been obtained.
An official live broadcast feed will be provided by the Presidency Communications Office in collaboration with Ghana Television, and will be made available to interested broadcasters.
Restricted areas include the Presidential dais and its immediate surroundings—accessible only to officially accredited Red Security Zone photographers and videographers—security checkpoints, other restricted security zones, and VIP seating areas.
The ISD emphasised that accreditation is non-transferable and warned that late arrivals would not be admitted to the venue.
