Director of Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ablekuma North, Daniel Yaw Tornyigah, has expressed growing concern over what he describes as a worrying trend of constituencies being left without parliamentary representation long after elections have been held.
His remarks come in response to the Minority Caucus' recent protest to the Ghana Police Service Headquarters, where they petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, to provide security for the Electoral Commission to complete the collation process and declare the results for the Ablekuma North parliamentary elections.
Speaking on Channel One TV's Citiuation Room on Thursday, June 5, Tornyigah pointed to a similar episode during the 2020 elections, when residents of Santrokofi, Akpafu, Likpe, and Lolobi (SALL) were effectively disenfranchised and denied representation in Parliament.
He emphasised that the prolonged delay in the Ablekuma North election poses a constitutional challenge and raises broader questions about the credibility of Ghana's electoral processes. "Last four years it happened for the people of SALL and all of us complained because at that time, it was an ineptitude and incompetence of the same EC that brought us to that situation. "This time around, elections have been conducted, everything has been done, now it has gotten to where someone must hold the bull by the horn and do the needful and that is where we find ourselves.
