The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has made history in the Ablekuma North Constituency, with Ewurabena Aubynn winning the parliamentary rerun held on Friday, July 11, 2025.
This is only the second time since 1992 that the NDC has captured the traditionally NPP stronghold. The rerun in 19 polling stations followed months of legal and electoral disputes after the December 2024 general election.
Aubynn secured 34,090 votes, narrowly defeating the NPP’s Akua Afriyie, who received 33,881 votes.
411 of the ballots cast were rejected.
The declaration of the NDC’s 2024 parliamentary candidate, Ewurabena Aubynn, restores parliamentary representation to the Ablekuma North Constituency, which had been without an MP since the December 7, 2024, general elections.
The constituency had remained in limbo for over seven months due to a protracted legal and electoral dispute. However, the rerun held on Friday, July 11, 2025, finally resolved the impasse.
The election day was not without incident. Tensions flared at the St. Peter’s Society Methodist Church polling centre, where unidentified individuals disrupted the process and reportedly assaulted Nana Afriyie and former Fisheries Minister Mavis Hawa Koomson.
Despite these disruptions, order was swiftly restored, and voting continued until the official closing time of 5 PM. Ballots were then sorted and counted, leading to the declaration of results.
