The Electoral Commission (EC) says it is ready to declare the final results of the Ablekuma North Constituency elections but is awaiting security support from the Ghana Police Service before proceeding.
In an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, the Director of Electoral Services and Training at the EC, Dr. Serebour Quaicoe, revealed that the votes have already been counted, with only the collation outstanding.
“We’ve been in touch with the IGP and the police; the only issue now is security,” he said.
Dr. Quaicoe also urged political parties to be prepared to accept the final outcome.
The declaration has been delayed due to incomplete results from three polling stations out of 281, sparking heated disputes between the NDC and NPP—both of whom are claiming victory.
Tensions reached a peak on January 8, 2025, when the Returning Officer resigned following disagreements over pink sheets.
The EC has since suspended the process seven times amidst ongoing clashes between party supporters.
Meanwhile, both the NDC and NPP have erected billboards thanking voters, despite the absence of official results.
