A contentious parliamentary election in the Dome Kwabenya constituency has taken a dramatic turn, with the Electoral Commission (EC) announcing a re-run of the poll at one polling station.<\/p>\n
This decision follows a dispute over the declaration of results from the Abokobi Women\u2019s Development Training Centre, where the results were filled on a training declaration form instead of the original one.<\/p>\n
The controversy began when polls closed on December 7, 2024, and the collation of parliamentary results was disrupted.<\/p>\n
With 367 polling stations in the constituency, the EC met to resolve the issues, only to discover that three declaration forms containing results from three polling stations were missing.<\/p>\n
When the results were finally provided, one of them was detected to have been declared on the wrong pink sheet.<\/p>\n
According to the EC, the results from the two polling stations showed a difference of 165 votes, with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate, Elikplim Akurugu, leading the New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, Mike Oquaye Jnr.<\/p>\n
The Abokobi Women\u2019s Development Training Centre, where the results were rejected, has a total voter population of about 665.<\/p>\n
The EC\u2019s decision to re-run the election at this particular polling station has been met with opposition from the NDC, which claims their candidate has won and that the EC\u2019s calculation was wrong.<\/p>\n
Rashid Tanko-Computer, Deputy Director of Elections and IT at the NDC argued that their calculation shows their candidate has won by a clear margin, and they will redo the calculation to prove it to the EC.<\/p>\n
The EC\u2019s Director of Training, Dr. Serebour Quaicoe, explained that the commission will meet to determine when to re-run the election at the polling station.<\/p>\n
Background of the Dispute<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Dome Kwabenya constituency has been a contentious area in Ghana\u2019s parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n
With 367 polling stations, the constituency is one of the largest in the country.<\/p>\n
The dispute over the declaration of results from the Abokobi Women\u2019s Development Training Centre has raised concerns about the credibility of the electoral process.<\/p>\n
Implications of the Re-Run<\/strong><\/p>\nThe re-run of the parliamentary election at the Abokobi Women\u2019s Development Training Centre has significant implications for the outcome of the election.<\/p>\n
With a difference of 165 votes between the two leading candidates, the re-run could potentially change the results of the election.<\/p>\n
