The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has pledged to finalize the results for the Dome Kwabenya and Ablekuma North constituencies ahead of the swearing-in of the ninth parliament.
The announcement follows the successful re-collation and declaration of results in seven other contested constituencies, including Okaikwei Central, Nsawam Adoagyiri, Ahafo Ano North, Ahafo Ano South West, Obuasi East, Tema Central, and Techiman South.
At a press conference in Accra on Tuesday, Dr. Bossman Asare, Deputy Chairperson of the EC responsible for Corporate Affairs, assured the public that the two remaining constituencies would have their Members of Parliament-elect declared “very soon.”
He attributed delays in the constituencies to disputes raised by stakeholders, which required additional scrutiny to maintain the integrity of the electoral process.
Dr. Asare emphasized the EC’s commitment to transparency and urged political parties and the public to remain patient as the Commission works to resolve the outstanding issues.
“We are confident that the two constituencies will have their MPs-elect well ahead of parliament’s swearing-in,” he said.
The EC’s re-collation process has sparked mixed reactions, with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) securing victories in all seven constituencies declared so far. However, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has rejected the results, calling the actions of the EC “illegal” and vowing to challenge the outcomes.
