Nuong Faalong, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) communication team, has waded into the New Patriotic Party falling out with the Jean Mensa-led Electoral Commission.
According to Nuong Faalong, it is surprising that today, NPP has suddenly fallen out with Jean Mensa.
The NDC communicator is quoted by GHONE TV to have stated, “Isn’t it surprising that today NPP has suddenly fallen out with their best friend, Jean Mensa?”.
Her comment comes on the back of Justin Kodua Frimpong, the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who has stated that Jean Mensa-led Electoral Commission lacks principles.
He revealed that he cannot defend the Electoral Commission leadership against attacks from the NDC Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia.
The NPP General Secretary is quoted by JOY NEWS to have stated, “Given current events, the EC lacks principles, and I can’t defend it against Asiedu Nketia’s claim that its leadership is unfit for purpose”.
Justin Kodua’s comments come on the back of the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana announcing 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.
However, Justin Kodua asserted that the NPP won the Ablekuma North Constituency with a margin of 414 votes.
He boldly stated that the electoral commission’s decisions are unjust and should act in accordance with the facts and evidence presented during the electoral process.
Speaking at a press briefing on Tuesday, July 8, Justin Kodua stated, “For us in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) resolute and we know that our candidate, Nana Akua Afriyie, won the elections with a margin of 414 votes. This is based on facts and figures. Yesterday, when the National Executive Committee met, we said that under no circumstances will we be intimidated.
“Under no circumstances will we go for a rerun. We will not go for any rerun. The New Patriotic Party will not go for any rerun. We have won the elections. What we are asking the Electoral Commission to do is to follow the court’s directive to finish the collation and declare our candidate, Akua Afriyie, as the MP for Ablekuma North,” the NPP General Secretary declared.
