The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has declared its intention to pursue legal action aimed at preventing the Electoral Commission (EC) from carrying out a rerun in certain polling stations within the Ablekuma North Constituency.
This decision comes in response to the EC’s announcement regarding a rerun of the parliamentary election in 19 polling stations in the constituency, which is based on disputes concerning the validity of the election results from December 7, 2024.
During a press briefing held in Accra on July 3, the General Secretary of the NPP, Justin Kodua Frimpong, contended that the EC does not possess the legal authority to mandate a rerun in only specific polling stations, asserting that the party will escalate the issue to the courts.
“The NDC is aware that they lost the election. We, as members of the NPP, will not relent in our efforts to ensure that the power, which has been respected and upheld by the democratic rights and sovereign will of the people of Ablekuma North, as expressed by them on December 7, 2024, is maintained. Consequently, we have instructed our legal team to contest the directive in court. We will file a lawsuit to challenge the arbitrary and unreasonable directive issued by the EC,” he stated.
