Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, the Minister of Defence, has called on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as they collaborate efforts to reform the Electoral Commission (EC) and safeguard Ghana’s democracy.
The Defence Minister, who doubles as the NDC Director of Elections and IT, stressed the urgency of bipartisan cooperation.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, Dr. Boamah stated, “NPP: It’s not too late! Let’s work together to fix the broken Electoral Commission and save Ghana’s democracy! The NPP should have listened when we in the NDC raised several red flags about the Electoral Commission of Ghana ahead of the 2024 elections. It’s not too late…”
Dr Omane Boahmah calls come on the heels of Justin Kodua Frimpong, the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), stating that Jean Mensa lead the 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.
