Court dismisses NPP candidate’s bid to halt Ablekuma North rerun

The High Court has dismissed an application filed by Nana Akua Afriyie, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Ablekuma North, seeking to stop a planned rerun of parliamentary elections in 19 polling stations within the constituency.

The rerun, scheduled for July 11, 2025, is part of the Electoral Commission’s efforts to conclude the disputed December 7, 2024, parliamentary election results in the constituency.

Delivering the ruling, Justice Ali Baba Abature described the application for an interim injunction as “unmeritorious,” stating that the balance of convenience lies in allowing the Electoral Commission (EC) to fulfill its constitutional obligation to ensure the people of Ablekuma North are duly represented in Parliament.

Nana Akua Afriyie had argued that the EC’s decision to organize a rerun contravened a binding High Court ruling issued on January 4, 2025, which directed the Commission to collate results from 62 outstanding polling stations and declare a winner based on the already conducted elections.

Her legal team, led by NPP lawyer Gary Nimako, told the court that following the January ruling, the EC had publicly acknowledged that only three polling station results remained uncollated, referencing a press release issued on January 27, 2025, and a subsequent parliamentary briefing by Deputy EC Chair Dr. Bossman Asare.

The court, however, ruled that these arguments did not outweigh the constitutional imperative for the EC to take necessary steps to complete the electoral process and safeguard the democratic rights of constituents.

With the dismissal of the injunction request, the Electoral Commission is now cleared to proceed with the July 11 rerun in the 19 polling stations, which is expected to finally determine the winner of the Ablekuma North parliamentary seat.
