The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced a re-run of elections in 19 selected polling stations in the Ablekuma North constituency.
The election will be held on Friday, July 11, 2025.
In a statement, the Commission explained that the decision follows extensive deliberations with the political parties involved thus; the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The Commission said the rerun has become necessary because Presiding Officers responsible for the selected polling stations could not verify 19 scanned polling station results used for the collation, although they were approved by agents of both political parties.
However, both parties informed the commission that their positions on the matter remained unchanged.
The NDC held the view that the election should be rerun in 37 polling stations because scanned pink sheets from these polling stations, which were used to collate the results, were provided by the NPP.
The NPP also argued that the results from three outstanding polling stations, be collated and a winner declared, since the NDC agents had verified and confirmed the scanned polling station results they presented.
Meanwhile, the EC has called on the Ghana Police Service to provide the needed security to ensure a safe environment for the conduct of the election.
