The two protagonists in the Ablekuma North constituency, Akua Owusu Afriyie of the NPP and Ewurabena Aubyn are both confident of winning the re-run of 19 polling stations to represent the people in parliament.
More than 6,000 eligible voters are expected to cast their ballots today, Friday, July 11, 2025, in a high-stakes parliamentary rerun across 19 polling stations in the Ablekuma North Constituency.
The standoff began after the December 7 general elections when the results from 62 polling stations became the subject of fierce contention between the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), with both parties disputing the authenticity of pink sheets and the legitimacy of the collation process.
The Electoral Commission (EC) managed to collate results from 59 polling stations, leaving three outstanding and sparking legal action.
In January 2025, the High Court ordered the EC to complete the collation and declare the results.
But the Commission, citing irregularities and missing endorsements in 19 of the polling stations, made a surprise announcement: a rerun would be held instead.
Queues have already started forming in some of the polling stations with the National Election Taskforce deploying men to all 19 to ensure orderly and peaceful re-run.
