As part of its commitment to resolving the im­passe regarding the Ablekuma North Constit­uency Parliamentary Election, the Electoral Commission (EC) on Tuesday, met with the representa­tives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and New Patri­otic Party (NPP).The meeting, which was a follow-up to an earlier meeting held on Thursday, June 12, 2025, provided both parties the oppor­tunity to brief the commission on any new developments regarding the said constituency.The parties informed the commission that their positions put forward at the last meeting remained unchanged.The NDC held the view that the election should rerun 37 Poll­ing Stations because scanned Pink Sheets from 37 Polling Stations which were used to collate the results, were provided the NPP.The NPP was of the view that the results from three (3) out­standing Polling Stations be col­lated and a winner declared since the NDC Agents had verified and confirmed the scanned Poling Station results they presented.According to the EC, it is important for the public to under­stand that the issue in contention has to do with the fact that 37 Pink Sheets provided by the NPP and used to collate the results were scanned copies."The Public may recall that Political Party supporters be­sieged our Collation Centre and destroyed a number of the Pink Sheets for the Ablekuma North Parliamentary Election during the collation of results following the December 7 General Election," the EC added.After extensive deliberations, the commission informed the Po­litical Parties that it would proceed to rerun the election in 19 of the 37 Polling Stations.The Commission arrived at the decision to rerun the election in the under listed Polling Stations because, the scanned Polling Sta­tion results used for the collation, though approved by Agents of both political Parties, were not verified by the Presiding Offi­cers responsible for the Polling Stations.According to the EC, it is instructive to note that the com­mission was able to secure the Presiding Officers verification and confirmation for 18 scanned Polling Station results-Agents of both parties also approved same.The election will be held on Friday, July 11, 2025The Commission has further urged the Ghana Police Service to provide the needed security to ensure a safe environment for the conduct of the election. BY TIMES REPORTER
