Nana Akua Afriyie, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for Ablekuma North, has firmly ruled out the possibility of a rerun of the parliamentary election in the constituency.
She asserted that all necessary documentation is intact, dismissing calls for a rerun due to disputes over the collation of results.
A High Court order on January 4, 2025, directed the Electoral Commission (EC) to finalize the collation process and declare winners for four outstanding parliamentary elections. While three constituencies have had their results declared, Ablekuma North remains unresolved.
Collation resumed on January 8, 2025, but was suspended due to incomplete results from three polling stations. The EC scheduled the process to continue on January 17, 2025, at 8:00 AM. However, based on security intelligence, the Ghana Police Service advised postponement.
Despite this, the EC, in a statement on January 17, indicated that the police had not provided enhanced security at the collation center, leading to an invasion by party supporters and a subsequent suspension of the process.
