The Ablekuma North New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate, Nana Akua Afriyie, is claiming victory in the 2024 election and has pledged unwavering determination to pursue that.
The former MP’s claim comes amidst the re-collation of disputed results.
“We have 281 polling stations in Ablekuma North. It was left with 62, and by the grace of God, the truth will stand.”
“I appreciate the justice system allowing us to collate the results, and I am firm in my stance. I want to put it on record that I will fight till the end because I know I won,” she stated confidently, “she vowed while speaking to journalists at the Electoral Commission (EC) office on Wednesday.”
Nana Akua Afriyie stressed that she had secured copies of all pink sheets from the polling stations, and they point to her resounding victory.
“I have all my 281 pink sheets scanned. I ensured this was done promptly, even before the gentleman arrived and disrupted the collation process by tearing materials from the Electoral Commission,” she said.
With only three polling stations outstanding, the aspirant expressed optimism that the odds are in her favor.
“Gradually, we are left with three polling stations. By the grace of God, I am leading comfortably, and that is where the fear lies,” she remarked, hinting at her opponents’ concerns about her apparent lead.
Meanwhile, the Returning Officer, Vincent Obeng, has withdrawn from the collation process and asked the EC to find a new person.
He cited the disagreement and other challenges that have marred and delayed the process.
Mr. Obeng explained that results from four out of seven polling stations had already been collated, leaving just three unaccounted for.
