It will be recalled that during the rerun of parliamentary elections in 19 polling stations in the Ablekuma North constituency on July 11, 2025, incidents of electoral violence were recorded at some polling stations.

At the St Peter's Methodist Church Polling Station, thugs alleged to be affiliated with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) pummeled Chris Llyod Nii Kwei.

Multiple videos from the scene, which have since gone viral on social and mainstream media, captured moments where the suspected thugs physically assaulted Llyod.

Giving a detailed account of what happened, he said, the assault on him was unprovoked because he was only calling for calm after some of his party members had been allegedly beaten up.

"I noticed our guys were being beaten, so I rushed in to talk to Mustapha Gbande to call off his guys, but he signalled his rejection, and before I knew it, they started heckling me and slaps followed.

"I tried to retreat, but another person landed a hefty blow that sent me crashing to the ground, twisting my leg in the process. In fact, I went off for about 30 seconds," he explained

He added that despite his injuries, he managed to make his way to the party's candidate office, where he met with distraught supporters and had to put on a brave face to boost party morale.

He claimed to have done this with remarkable resilience just to inspire his party members to remain resolute and work towards the party's victory.

However, after the rerun in 19 polling stations which were in dispute, the seat was won by the NDC's Ewurabena Aubynn, who polled 34,090 votes.

Her main contender from the NPP, Akua Afriyie, garnered a total of 33,881 votes, whereas 411 of the ballots cast were rejected.

The parliamentary rerun in 19 polling stations in the Ablekuma North constituency held on Friday, July 11, 2025, became necessary following fallout from the December 2024 election, where NDC and NPP had fierce disagreement as each party claimed to have won the seat.

The Electoral Commission, upon thorough investigations into the claims by each party, decided to conduct a rerun of the election in 19 polling stations where the commission claimed to have found anomalies.
