Justin Frimpong Kodua is the General Secretary of the NPP
The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced that it will not be taking part in the rerun of the 2024 parliamentary election in 19 polling stations of the Ablekuma North Constituency.
Speaking at a press briefing at the NPP constituency office in Ablekuma North on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, the General Secretary of the party, Justine Frimpong Kodua, said that the party will refrain from the rerun because the records of the election show that their candidate won.
He indicated that the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party is convinced that they won the election and therefore there should be no rerun.
“Our engagement with you this morning is very simple, that we have our evidence, undeniable evidence, overwhelming evidence to clearly show that we won the Ablekuma North parliamentary elections.
“And yesterday, when the National Executive Committee met, we said that under no circumstances will we be intimidated. Under no circumstances will we be coerced to go for a rerun. We will not go for any rerun. The New Patriotic Party will not go for any rerun,” he said.
He added, “We have won the elections. We have won the elections. What we are asking the Electoral Commission is to obey the court directive to finish the collation and declare our candidate, Akua Afriyie, as the MP-elect for Ablekuma North.”
