Richard Ahiagbah attacked the Electoral Commission over their handling of the Ablekuma North election mess. The NPP communications boss claims officials treated this case differently from what happened at Dome Kwabenya. He posted angry messages on social media Wednesday accusing the commission of caving to government demands. Ahiagbah wants to know why commissioners forced a fresh vote at Ablekuma North but let the NDC candidate win at Dome Kwabenya without any repeat voting. He believes the Electoral Commission buckled under massive political pressure.
The commission announced they would repeat voting at 19 locations out of 37 polling stations for the troubled constituency. Officials from both major political parties met Tuesday and reached this agreement after hours of heated discussions. The NDC demanded fresh elections at every single polling station across the area. NPP leaders argued that commissioners should just count results from the final three stations and declare someone the winner. Electoral officials explained that problems started because the NPP provided scanned copies instead of original pink sheets.
Voters will return to the polls Friday July 11 to settle this parliamentary race once and for all. The contest pits NPP candidate Nana Akua Owusu Afriyie against NDC rival Ewurabena Aubynn for the empty seat. Political party supporters had stormed the counting center during December elections and destroyed several important documents. The constituency has remained without any Member of Parliament since the chaotic 2024 general elections. This fresh voting should finally end months of uncertainty about who represents the area.
