Dr Bossman Asare, Deputy Chairman in charge of Corporate Services at the Electoral Commission, has stated that the Ablekuma North constituency rerun election is crucial.
According to Bossman Asare, the Electoral Commission is prepared to bring an end to the disputed Ablekuma North election today, Friday, July 11.
Speaking to the media ahead of the polls in Accra on Thursday, July 10, Dr. Bossman Asare stated, “On our part as the electoral management body, we are desirous of bringing the election in the Ablekuma North constituency to a conclusion and to ensure that the constituents have a representative in Parliament”.
“We thus provided a path to complete the collation process to ensure that the residents of Ablekuma North have a representative in Parliament”, he added.
The EC further assured Ghanaians of a credible election: “We assure the public and the political parties that, as always, we will live by our motto and ensure that the rerun is fair, transparent, and credible.”
Dr. Bossman Asare concluded by wishing the two candidates from the NPP and NDC success at the polls.
A win for the NDC will mean flipping a historically NPP-leaning seat, while a win for the NPP will underscore that all is not yet lost for the NPP, as they still maintain their grassroots support.
Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary candidate, Nana Akua Owusu, has defied the party’s directives by choosing to run in the scheduled election today, Friday, July 11.
