General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has declared that the Electoral Commission (EC) is fully aware of the party’s decision not to participate in the rerun of the Ablekuma North parliamentary election.
Mr. Kodua made the disclosure in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, just three days before the election scheduled for Friday, July 11, 2025.
According to him, although there has been no official communication, the Commission is aware that it is acting in bad faith and the NPP will not tolerate it.
He emphasized that the NPP will not participate in any process leading to the rerun.
“We have taken a firm decision not to partake in the election. We won’t submit any picture for the printing of the ballot papers, nor will our agents be there to supervise. The NPP will not go,” he stated.
The NPP’s disapproval stems from what they describe as procedural irregularities and legal inconsistencies surrounding the EC’s decision.
Mr. Kodua argued that the EC’s approach lacks transparency and appears to disregard the outcome of previous deliberations.
“We won the election in Ablekuma North with the pink sheets from the polling stations. We know there are only three outstanding polling stations. Any decision to go for a rerun will be an insult and indictment of the NPP. We expect the EC to be truthful and follow due process,” he added.
With an injunction application to quash the EC’s decision pending at the Accra High Court, Mr. Kodua expressed optimism that the outcome will favour the NPP.
