Repository for political party advertisements
The Political Advert Repository (PAdRe or Padre) is an IEC initiative, supported by Media Monitoring Africa (MMA). This initiative is in line with the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights’ Guidelines On Access To Information And Elections In Africa.
We know that bad actors will seek to misinform and undermine the elections. When you see a political advert on social media, it’s often difficult to know for sure if it’s a legitimate advert.
You can use the platform to search through the adverts to see the messages and campaigns of the political parties. In addition you can now also see which parties are advertising on social media and how much they are spending.
