Deputy Commissioner of the Electoral Commission, Dr Bossman Asare
The Deputy Commissioner of the Electoral Commission (EC), Dr Bossman Asare, has appealed to Parliament to engage the Ghana Police Service to provide security support to enable the Commission to complete the collation of results in the Ablekuma North Constituency.
He stated that the Commission remains committed to concluding the collation process to ensure that the constituency secures representation in Parliament.
“As a Commission, we are desirous of ensuring that the people of Ablekuma North have a representative in Parliament. We urge the House to assist us in securing the support of the Ghana Police to help us complete this important national exercise,” he said.
Briefing Parliament on the status of the undeclared results on Thursday, June 19, 2025, Dr. Asare disclosed that the Commission has made several attempts to finalise the collation.
“We are not resting, and we are not relenting. The Commission is anxious about completing the Ablekuma North results and is engaging with the security agencies to ensure we have the protection needed to finish the collation,” he added.
He explained that dialogue had taken place between the political parties involved.
“We have held productive meetings on how to conclude the process. In the most recent meeting, the two political parties presented different positions: one party said the collation should continue, while the other demanded a rerun in 37 polling stations,” he noted.
Dr Asare emphasised that the collation process has, thus far, been credible and inclusive.
“The collation in Ablekuma North has been very transparent, participatory, and accountable. The agents of both the NPP and the NDC have always been present. This shows a transparent process,” he stated.
Seven months after the elections, Ablekuma North remains without a representative in Parliament, as results from the polls have yet to be declared.
