It is known that the government of any country is expected to be democratic. Democracy is veryrnessential for the wellbeing, peace development and stability of citizens. In a democratic set uprnthe role of media is found to be central. Media plays a great role by providing the necessaryrninformation in a democratic society. With all this idea, this study focused on the role of EBC inrndemocratizing the 2014/15(2007) national election and also aims at finding out what challengesrnthis media faced to play this important role expected from it. Qualitative research approach wasrnemployed to conduct the study. In depth interview and discourse analysis data collection methodrnwere used to gather data in order to address the research objective. Social responsibility, thernpublic sphere, framing, discourse analysis theories were used as theoretical framework to informrnthe study. The final finding of the study indicated that EBC is not properly practiced therndemocratic roles that are expected to play in the election. For this, internal and externalrnchallenges are identified. The internal challenges are poor level of journalistic professionalism,rnand institutional poor performance. The external challenges are the high influence andrninterference of government officials. The paper has also tried to see the relationship betweenrnEBC and political parties. The paper identifies the relationship is unfriendly. Therefore EBCrncould not properly cover 2015(2007) national election. Even the time of pre- election process therndebate between political parties was not transmitted live. When they were debating the timernallocated to opposing political parties was limited. It was not enough to express their idea, so thernattempt that EBC tried to make the election democratic was very weak.
