Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Mensa, is slated to appear before Parliament this week to provide clarity on the protracted electoral dispute in the Ablekuma North Constituency.
The constituency has remained without parliamentary representation since the December 7, general elections.
The electoral impasse stems from unresolved issues relating to the collation of results from several polling stations, leading to a deadlock that has left the seat vacant for six months.
The absence of a Member of Parliament has fuelled growing frustration among constituents who remain unrepresented in the legislature.
In a bid to resolve the matter, the Minority Caucus on June 4, petitioned the Ghana Police Service, urging the provision of adequate security to facilitate a safe and transparent re-collation process.
Their intervention aims to ensure that the Electoral Commission can carry out its duties without intimidation or disruption.
Jean Mensa is now expected to appear before Parliament’s Committee of the Whole to update lawmakers on the status of the collation and the Commission’s plans to bring the matter to a close.
The Committee is likely to seek assurances on the next steps and demand a concrete timeline for finalising the results and officially declaring the winner.
