The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced plans to seek legal redress to restrain the Electoral Commission (EC) from conducting a rerun in some polling stations in the Ablekuma North Constituency.

This follows the EC’s announcement that it will conduct a rerun of the parliamentary election in 19 polling stations within the constituency, citing disputes over the authenticity of the December 7, 2024, election results.

Addressing a press briefing in Accra on July 3, the General Secretary of the NPP, Justin Kodua Frimpong, argued that the EC lacks the legal basis to call for a rerun in only selected polling stations and said the party will take the matter to court.

“The NDC knows that they lost the election. We are in the NPP, shall stop at nothing in our quest to ensure that the power that has been respected and upheld by the democratic rights and sovereign will of the people of Ablekuma North, as expressed by them on December 7, 2024, is upheld. Therefore, we have caused our legal directorate to challenge the directive in court. We shall file in court and challenge the whimsical, capricious directive by the EC,” he said.
