The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Blue Army have stormed Ablekuma North with a large parade of motorbikes as part of the party’s campaign efforts ahead of the rerun of parliamentary elections in 19 polling stations tomorrow.
Despite the party’s initial decision not to contest, its parliamentary aspirant, Nana Akua Afriyie, confirmed this morning that she will be contesting in tomorrow’s election.
In the viral video, the NPP’s Blue Army was spotted in their numbers as they campaigned for the Ablekuma North rerun in the 19 polling stations.
Reports suggest, Bryan Acheampong, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, has donated GHs200,000 to Akua Afriyie, $6,500 to coordinators and polling station chairpersons in Ablekuma North to support the rerun.
Joy news in a post on X stated, “Bryan Acheampong donates GHs200,000 to Akua Afriyie, $6,500 to coordinators and polling station chairpersons in Ablekuma North to support rerun”.
The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana announced that it will conduct a rerun of the Parliamentary Election in 19 polling stations in the Ablekuma North Constituency.
The EC 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 Frimpong, the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has boldly stated that the party will not go for any rerun in the 19 polling stations in the Ablekuma North Constituency.
According to Justin Kodua, the NPP won the Ablekuma North Constituency with a margin of 414 votes.
He further asserted 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.
Meanwhile, Mustapha Gbande, the Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has exposed the New Patriotic Party for lying to Ghanaians about boycotting the Ablekuma North rerun.
According to Mustapha Gbande, the NPP is actively campaigning at night in the constituency despite claims of boycotting the rerun.
