Ewurabena Aubynn of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has won the parliamentary rerun in the Ablekuma North constituency, reclaiming the seat from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in a closely fought contest.
Aubynn secured 34,090 votes, narrowly defeating the NPP’s Nana Akua Afriyie, who polled 33,881 votes.
The rerun followed a protracted legal and electoral dispute stemming from the December 2024 elections, where violence at the collation centre disrupted the counting of results from 19 polling stations.
Although the High Court directed the Electoral Commission (EC) to complete the process, persistent delays and security concerns prompted the EC to conduct a fresh vote in the affected areas.
The rerun saw a strong turnout, with over 6,000 voters participating to resolve the months-long electoral impasse.
