Deputy Chairperson of the EC, Dr Bossman Asare
The Electoral Commission (EC) has indicated that there will not be an immediate re-run of the 2024 parliamentary election in the Ablekuma North Constituency.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Thursday, June 19, 2025, the Deputy Chairperson of the Commission, Dr Bossman Asare, explained that results from three outstanding polling stations can still be collated.
According to him, a re-run remains a last resort if all efforts to complete the collation fail.
“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 said.
Dr Asare also disclosed that the Electoral Commission spent GH¢3.6 million on the reprinting of presidential ballots and GH¢2.4 million on parliamentary ballots for the Eastern and Western Regions during the 2024 general elections.
Six months after the elections, Ablekuma North remains without a representative in Parliament, as results from the polls have yet to be declared.
