Ablekuma North Constituency Holds Critical Parliamentary Election Rerun
Voters in Ghana’s Ablekuma North constituency head to polls today, Friday, July 11, 2025, for a crucial parliamentary election rerun. The Electoral Commission has organized voting at 19 specific polling stations following months of electoral disputes.
The constituency has remained without parliamentary representation since the December 7, 2024 general elections. Original voting was disrupted during the coalition process, leaving the seat vacant for over seven months. This unprecedented situation has denied residents their voice in Parliament during critical national debates.
Today’s rerun focuses exclusively on the 19 affected polling stations where irregularities occurred. The Electoral Commission has not disclosed the total number of eligible voters participating in this limited rerun. Security measures have reportedly been enhanced to prevent further disruptions.
The prolonged vacancy has created significant challenges for constituents seeking parliamentary intervention on local issues. Government projects and constituency development initiatives have faced delays without an elected representative to advocate for the area’s needs.
Electoral officials express confidence that today’s process will resolve the months-long impasse. The winning candidate will immediately assume duties as Member of Parliament, representing Ablekuma North’s interests in Ghana’s legislature.
Results are expected within 24 hours of polls closing. This rerun represents a critical test of Ghana’s electoral system’s ability to resolve disputed outcomes while maintaining democratic integrity and public confidence.
