EC Assures Fair and Credible Rerun of Ablekuma North Parliamentary Election on July 11

The Electoral Commission (EC) has assured the public of a fair, transparent, and credible parliamentary election rerun in the Ablekuma North constituency scheduled for Friday, July 11, 2025.

At a press briefing on Thursday, July 10, the Deputy Chairperson of the EC, Dr. Bossman Asare, announced that all necessary preparations had been completed to ensure a smooth electoral process. He emphasized the Commission’s commitment to reflecting the true will of the constituents through a credible election.

“On our part as the electoral management body, we are desirous of bringing the election in the Ablekuma North constituency to a conclusion and to ensure that the constituents have a representative in Parliament,” Dr. Asare stated.

The rerun is taking place in 19 polling stations, following the suspension of the collation process during the December 2024 parliamentary elections due to security concerns.

The election will see a renewed contest between the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) candidate, Nana Akua Owusu Afriyie, and the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) Ewurabena Aubynn.

According to the EC, a clear legal and procedural path has been outlined to complete the collation process.

“We have thus provided a path to complete the collation process while ensuring that the residents of Ablekuma North have a representative in Parliament,” Dr. Asare explained.

Reaffirming the Commission’s dedication to electoral integrity, he added, “We assure the public and the political parties that, as always, we will live by our motto and ensure that the rerun is fair, transparent and credible.”

The EC also extended its best wishes to both candidates ahead of the polls.
