The Electoral Commission (EC) has ruled out an immediate re-run of the 2024 parliamentary election in the Ablekuma North Constituency, clarifying that results from three outstanding polling stations are yet to be collated but remain valid.

The collation of results has been delayed due to security concerns, with the Ghana Police Service currently awaiting advice from the Attorney General’s Department on how best to provide security to facilitate the process.

Addressing Parliament on Thursday, 19 June 2025, the EC’s Deputy Chairperson in charge of Corporate Affairs, Dr Bossman Asare, explained that the Commission is not at the point of declaring the election inconclusive.

“So, for Ablekuma North, we have not reached the point where we will say we don’t have the results. When we try and we cannot get the results, that is when we will resort to the re-run. The re-run will be a last option,” he stated.

The dispute arose after disruptions at the constituency’s collation centre during the 2024 general elections halted the process. Political tensions between the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) further complicated the situation, with both parties contesting the incomplete results.

The EC’s current position is to complete the collation of the three remaining polling stations under police protection before considering any re-run—a move the Commission describes as a last resort.

In a related development, Dr Asare disclosed that the Commission spent GHS 3.6 million on reprinting presidential ballots and GHS 2.4 million on parliamentary ballots for the Eastern and Western Regions during the 2024 elections, underscoring the financial burden of potential reruns.

The EC continues to urge calm and patience as it works with relevant stakeholders to bring finality to the matter and ensure electoral transparency and integrity in the Ablekuma North Constituency.

The Electoral Commission also dismissed claims that it breached procurement procedures when it reprinted ballot papers for the 2024 general elections, following a reported leakage.

Dr Bossman Asare stated in Parliament that the Commission acted within the law and secured the appropriate approval from the Central Tender Review Committee (CTRC) before engaging the printing houses.

“There was no breach of the procurement law. The Commission wrote the CTRC on the 2nd of December, and the elections were supposed to take place on 7th December,” Dr Asare said.
