The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) has expressed concern over the unresolved 2024 parliamentary elections in Ablekuma North, urging immediate action to protect the democratic rights of its constituents.
At its 2025 Mid-Year Conference held at the Labadi Beach Hotel, the Association resolved, among other matters, that the lack of parliamentary representation for the Ablekuma North constituency infringes upon the democratic rights of its constituents.
“The Ghana Bar Association notes with concern the lack of parliamentary representation for the people of Ablekuma North, despite their active participation in the 7 December 2024 elections,” the Association asserted.
“This situation undermines the fundamental rights of the people of Ablekuma North to representation in Parliament,” it added.
Accordingly, the Bar called on key electoral and security stakeholders, including the Electoral Commission and the Ghana Police Service, to act immediately to resolve the situation by completing the collation process and declaring the results.
The 2024 parliamentary election in the Ablekuma North constituency—contested by Nana Akua Owusu Afriyie of the NPP and Awurabena Aubynn of the NDC—remains unresolved following disruptions, legal challenges, and allegations of misconduct.
The Electoral Commission (EC) initially suspended collation over security threats, later nullifying the results on grounds that declarations were made without proper procedures and under duress.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) secured a High Court order directing the EC to complete collation and declare results from 62 polling stations. However, discrepancies in 20 of those polling stations delayed the process further.
Meanwhile, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) accused the EC of colluding with the NPP to alter results, citing falsified documents.
The standoff intensified when NDC supporters stormed the EC’s regional office, damaging property and escalating security concerns.
