The Ghanaian Parliament has summoned the Electoral Commission (EC) Chairperson, Jean Mensa, to appear before a Committee of the Whole next week to address the unresolved Ablekuma North parliamentary election results. The declaration of results has been stalled due to incomplete results from three out of 281 polling stations, sparking disputes between the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), both of which are claiming victory.
*Key Issues:*
- *Incomplete Results*: The EC is yet to declare a winner due to missing results from some polling stations.
- *Dispute Background*: The collation process has faced several challenges, including violence, missing pink sheets, and legal interventions.
- *Previous Court Ruling*: The High Court ordered the EC to recollate and declare the parliamentary election results for Ablekuma North, citing concerns about transparency and accuracy.
- *Current Status*: A Supreme Court injunction has halted security arrangements for the results collation, further complicating the situation.
*Potential Implications:*
- *Constitutional Concerns*: The prolonged delay raises questions about the representation rights of Ablekuma North residents and the democratic process.
- *Security Concerns*: The Ghana Police Service has been petitioned to provide adequate security for the collation process.
The Minority in Parliament has vowed to resist any attempt to force a rerun of the election, demanding immediate clarity and accountability from the EC and law enforcement. Source:Adomonline
