Nana Akua Afriyie (L) and Adamu Mussah Kalamu
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for Ablekuma North, Nana Akua Afriyie, appears to have threatened to frustrate the nomination of Adamu Mussah Kalamu as the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the area.
Speaking in an interview with Citi TV during the #SaveTheJudiciaryDemo on Monday, May 5, 2025, she suggested that she intended to give Adamu Mussah Kalamu, the Ablekuma North Constituency Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), a taste of his own medicine.
“The NDC organiser has been nominated. I’m 100% aware. I’m only laughing,” the NPP parliamentary candidate said while giggling.
Using an Akan proverb, she hinted at retaliating for what she claimed was Kalamu’s persistent effort to frustrate her campaign to be elected Member of Parliament for Ablekuma North, in collaboration with the NDC parliamentary candidate, Ewurabena Aubynn.
“In Akan, we say something like, ‘If you don’t allow your friend to harvest the number 9, you will not be able to harvest 10,’” she said.
When asked whether her statement constituted a threat, Akua Afriyie responded with a question, “You should also answer me. If you don’t allow your friend to harvest the number 9, will you be able to harvest 10?.”
The Ablekuma North Constituency remains the only constituency without representation in the 9th Parliament of Ghana.
The Electoral Commission of Ghana annulled the declaration of the NDC’s Ewurabena Aubynn as the winner of the Ablekuma North parliamentary seat.
Since then, efforts to recollate the election results have proven futile, with the process repeatedly marred by violence and misunderstanding.
