Deputy Director of Elections for the (NDC), Mahdi Gibril, has stated that a victory in the September 2nd by-election in the Akwatia constituency will affirm their victory in the 2024 general elections.
He explained that the (NDC) believes it won the 2024 parliamentary seat for Akwatia but that "something fishy went on," which is why they went to court to challenge the outcome.
Mahdi Gibril stated that the NDC is fully prepared and will not compromise or be complacent in the upcoming by-election.
He was confident that, based on their preparations, the NDC will secure victory on September 2, 2025. "We will win the seat and will confirm that our decision to challenge the outcome of the 2024 elections was not an exercise in futility," he said. "We knew why we filed a petition in court challenging the declaration of the NPP as winners of the seat. "We had our evidence and knew that the results declared were in error.
