Minority Petition CID Over Ablekuma North Election Results

Members of the Minority Caucus in Parliament staged a protest march to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Headquarters of the Ghana Police Service on Wednesday to present a petition over the unresolved parliamentary election result in Ablekuma North, in the Greater Accra region.

The parliamentary outcome for the constituency remains officially undeclared nearly six months after the December 7, 2024, general election, despite full participation by voters. Multiple attempts to finalize the results have ended in scuffles, with police forced to intervene.

The Electoral Commission (EC) suspended the collation in January after discrepancies in results from at least 20 polling stations emerged, while a fire later destroyed some ballot materials at the Kwashieman Cluster of Schools, further compounding the crisis.

The EC has yet to announce a final resolution.

Meanwhile, key institutions including the Ghana Bar Association and CODEO have called for urgent action—with CODEO suggesting a possible rerun if the stalemate persists.
