The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for Ablekuma North, Nana Akua Afriyie has rejected any idea of a rerun of parliamentary election in the constituency.
According to her, she has all the necessary documents in her possession for a re-collation of results.
Speaking in an interview on the Channel One Newsroom on Thursday February 6, Afriyie noted that “The three polling stations, we have the pink sheets. We have the original pink sheets and we have the scanned copies, so why the rerun?”
“I don’t agree in any way. We are not going for any rerun. We are going to collate those three polling stations.” Afriyie declared.
A High Court order on January 4, 2025, directed the Electoral Commission (EC) to finalize the collation process and declare winners for four outstanding parliamentary elections. While three constituencies have had their results declared, Ablekuma North remains unresolved.
Collation resumed on January 8, 2025, but was suspended due to incomplete results from three polling stations. The EC scheduled the process to continue on January 17, 2025, at 8:00 AM. However, based on security intelligence, the Ghana Police Service advised postponement.
Despite this, the EC, in a statement on January 17, indicated that the police had not provided enhanced security at the collation center, leading to an invasion by party supporters and a subsequent suspension of the process.
