12 UCP candidates have been rejected by both TV and radio companies, with 4 candidates being unable to publish their election programmes in government-run newspapers. 9 more speeches failed to be recorded.

11 addresses were slightly censored but managed to be broadcast on state-owned TV and radio channels, including two by the party’s leader Anatol Liabedzka.
