A Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande, has dismissed claims by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that it is boycotting the upcoming parliamentary rerun at Ablekuma North.

Speaking on Adom FM's Dwaso Nsem, Gbande accused the NPP of being dishonest, alleging that the party's operatives are secretly campaigning in the constituency under the cover of the night despite publicly announcing a boycott. "The NPP is part of the election but is lying to Ghanaians about boycotting.

They are disingenuous and go to campaign at night," he stated.

Gbande challenged the NPP to officially communicate any decision to withdraw from the contest to the Electoral Commission (EC), so the candidate's name could be removed from the ballot. "If they are serious, they should write to the EC and inform them officially that they are pulling out," he said.
