The National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Ablekuma North, Ewurabyna Aubynn, has expressed unwavering optimism about securing a favorable ruling from the High Court.
She emphasized that delay is not denial, asserting that no attempts by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to manipulate events will prevail, as the will of the people will ultimately be upheld.
Ewurabyna Aubynn was declared the MP-elect for the constituency following a contentious situation at the Greater Accra Regional Collation Centre.
This declaration occurred on December 10, 2024, after the results from 219 out of 281 polling stations had been compiled.
Her comments follow the High Court’s adjournment to January 4, 2025, to deliver its ruling on the mandamus application filed by the NPP concerning the constituencies of Tema Central, Okaikwei Central, Techiman South, and Ablekuma North.
Speaking to journalists after the court hearing on January 1, the NDC parliamentary candidate for Ablekuma North said, “Delay is not denial, we were all in the courtroom, it’s been 6 hours of sitting. And no matter how the NPP decides to twist and turn issues, we are all privy to events.
“So, I have no doubt that the will of the people will still stand. Our counsel has been doing a brilliant job. I mean the whole team has been doing a brilliant job.”
This decision follows the court’s earlier dismissal of an objection by the NDC, which questioned the court’s jurisdiction to entertain the application.
