Dr Bossman Asare is Deputy Chairman of the Electoral Commission
The Electoral Commission (EC) has given the assurance that the rerun of the parliamentary election in 19 polling stations in the Ablekuma North Constituency on Friday, July 11, will be conducted in a fair, transparent, and credible manner.
Addressing the press ahead of the polls on Thursday, July 10, 2025, Deputy Chairman of the Electoral Commission (EC), Dr Bossman Asare, said preparations were complete.
He reaffirmed the EC’s commitment to ensuring the process reflects the true will of the constituents.
“On our part as the electoral management body, we are desirous of bringing the election in the Ablekuma North constituency to a conclusion and to ensure that the constituents have a representative in Parliament.
“We assure the public and the political parties that, as always, we will live by our motto and ensure that the rerun is fair, transparent and credible”, he stated.
Dr Asare further dismissed claims of political interference in its decision to rerun the parliamentary election.
“We state categorically that Ghana’s electoral management body is an independent body and will not be influenced by any institution or any person. Our track record speaks for itself,” he added.
Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2024 Parliamentary Candidate for Ablekuma North, Nana Akua Afriyie, has confirmed her decision to contest the rerun.
Her confirmation comes despite an earlier stance by the party not to participate in the rerun, which was ordered by the EC following disputes over the authenticity of results from 19 polling stations during the December 7, 2024, general election.
