The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced that the Council of State elections in the North East and Ashanti regions will be re-run on Monday, February 17, 2025.

According to a statement issued by Deputy Chairman of Operations, Samuel Tettey, the decision to con­duct a re-run in these regions stems from two key issues.

In the North East Region, the election ended in a tie, with the top two candidates each securing six votes, making a re-run necessary to determine the winner.

Meanwhile, in the Ashanti Region, the election was disrupted by thugs, preventing it from being concluded.
