The Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Mustapha Gbande, has boldly stated that the NDC is ready to turn to the polls in the Ablekuma North Constituency.
According to Mustapha Gbande, a competent student shouldn’t be afraid to rewrite if the results are cancelled.
Speaking on Citi Eyewitness News on Wednesday, Mustapha Gbande stated, “The NDC believes that our candidate Ewurabena Aubynn is capable, competent, and well fit for that purpose”.
“On December 7, the people of Ablekuma North, based on voting patterns, contemplated making her their MP — as opposed to an individual who is only good at twerking on campaign platforms and has been alleged in visa racketeering.”
He added, “You can’t impose that candidate on a constituency,” he said. “Every single step advanced by the NPP after December 7, leading to the indiscriminate walkout by the Minority in parliament, to any action they have undertaken so far is an indication that they want to illegally impose on the people of Ablekuma North.”
“If you’re a competent student and the examiner cancels your results, you shouldn’t be afraid to go back and rewrite. The NDC will return to the people of Ablekuma North, plead with them in one accord, and seek their mandate again. We believe that in those 19 polling stations, they will vote to make up the difference.”
“Ablekuma North is one of the seats the NPP sought to use the EC to steal from the NDC. We’re simply going back to do what the law requires us to do,” he said.
However, Haruna Mohammed, the Deputy General Secretary of the NPP, has stated that there was no such agreement with the Electoral Commission to rerun the parliamentary election in 19 polling stations within the constituency.
He asserted that the NPP do not know of any election, and insisted that the EC conclude the collation on the three polling stations that are still outstanding.
Speaking on Citi Eyewitness News, Haruna Mohammed stated, “Our representatives were at the meeting, and I have to put it on record that there was no such agreement with the EC.”
“That is very evident in the release of the EC itself—that the political parties did not agree. We don’t know what the EC is up to. The NPP is not going to give up on this particular fight”
“We don’t know of any elections. The EC must conclude the collation on the three polling stations—this is still outstanding, and that is clear for us.”
Meanwhile, the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has revealed that it will conduct a rerun of the Parliamentary Election in 19 polling stations in the Ablekuma North Constituency.
Samuel Tettey, Deputy Chairman of Operations at the EC, in a press release dated July 2, noted that the decision was reached following consultation between the NDC and the NPP on July 1, 2025.
The EC has decided to rerun the election in 19 of the 37 polling stations, citing that although the scanned results from these stations were approved by both party agents, they lacked verification by the Presiding Officers.
The rerun in Ablekuma North is scheduled for Friday, July 11, 2025.
