This panel explores the crucial nexus of broadcasting, election administration, and democratic development in the era of artificial intelligence. Experts discussed how radio remains a highly trusted medium for grassroots mobilization, and how newsrooms must adapt to combat misinformation during election cycles.

During this session, panellists examined how current civic engagement strategies reflect broader approaches to accountability. The overarching theme focused heavily on bridging the gap between government actions and public expectations.

"When we speak of democratic development, we must look beyond the ballot box and focus on the daily dialogue between the state and the citizen."
