The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has assured citizens that results for the Dome Kwabenya and Ablekuma North constituencies will be finalized, and their Members of Parliament-elect announced, before the swearing-in of the ninth Parliament.
This assurance follows the successful re-collation and declaration of results in seven other disputed constituencies, including Okaikwei Central, Nsawam Adoagyiri, Ahafo Ano North, Ahafo Ano South West, Obuasi East, Tema Central, and Techiman South.
During a press briefing in Accra on Tuesday, Dr. Bossman Asare, the EC’s Deputy Chairperson in charge of Corporate Affairs, expressed confidence in resolving the outstanding matters promptly.
“The two remaining constituencies will have their MPs-elect declared very, very soon, well before the swearing-in of Parliament,” Dr. Asare emphasized.
He clarified that the delays in these areas were due to challenges raised by stakeholders, which required further examination to ensure the credibility of the electoral process. He urged all political parties and stakeholders to remain patient as the EC addresses the issues.
The EC’s efforts to re-collate and declare results have sparked mixed reactions. So far, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has claimed all seven seats that have been finalized. However, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has rejected the outcomes, labeling the EC’s actions as unlawful and promising to contest the decisions.
Dr. Asare reiterated the Commission’s commitment to maintaining transparency and credibility throughout the process, urging the public to trust the institution’s work.
