Nearly six months after the 2024 general elections, Ablekuma North remains without a Member of Parliament, sparking constitutional concerns and political outcry.
On Wednesday, June 4, Minority MPs, led by Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh, marched to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service to demand a full-scale probe into the Electoral Commission’s (EC) handling of the delayed results.
The MPs accuse the EC of failing to ensure due process in the face of missing pink sheets, violent disruptions during collation, and the mysterious fire that destroyed sensitive electoral materials in January.
With no official declaration since the chaos, constituents in the highly contested constituency—where both the NDC’s Ewurabena Aubynn and the NPP’s Nana Akua Owusu Afriyie are claiming victory—have been left without representation in the current Parliament.
The Minority’s petition describes the situation as “voter disenfranchisement at its highest,” demanding either a transparent declaration or a rerun. As pressure mounts from civil society groups like CODEO and the Ghana Bar Association for independent oversight, the EC’s silence continues to fuel public suspicion and heighten political tension across the capital.
