To ensure conditions for an equitable campaign environment, consideration could be given to provide that all campaign prohibitions, including the misuse of administrative resources, apply from the calling of the elections. The law should ensure equal application of campaign rules to all contestants, and regulate that the incumbent president should not enjoy undue advantages. Authorities should put in place measures to ensure a clear separation between the State and party to prevent candidates from using the advantage of their office for electoral purposes, including an effective sanctioning mechanism against the misuse of administrative resources, and undertake effective campaign oversight by conducting thorough investigations of all campaign-related offences.
