The National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Ablekuma North, Ewurabena Aubynn, has firmly stated her determination to safeguard her electoral victory.
She insists that she legitimately won the 2024 parliamentary elections in the constituency and is prepared to take all necessary steps to ensure that her mandate is upheld.
Ms. Aubynn has accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of conspiring with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to manipulate election results by fabricating pink sheets.
She also expressed strong opposition to the proposed electronic collation of results, arguing that the process must be transparent and fair.
“Remaining silent does not mean one is weak. If those in authority choose to fight, then I am ready to fight this battle as well,” she declared during a public gathering.
Her remarks were made during a vigil organized by NDC members and supporters on February 9, 2025, to protest the prolonged delay in announcing the parliamentary results for the constituency.
Clad in black, protesters assembled at the forecourt of the Kwashieman Chiefs Palace, using the event as an avenue to express their frustration over the electoral process and what they perceive as attempts to subvert the will of the people.
The delay in the collation process stems from an incident on January 17, 2025, when the process was abruptly suspended following alleged acts of vandalism.
Reports suggest that over 40 individuals, believed to be aligned with the NDC, stormed the collation centre at the Greater Accra Regional Office of the EC, forcibly disrupted proceedings, and caused damage to property, including doors and window louvre blades.
Despite the ongoing controversy, the Electoral Commission has reaffirmed its commitment to upholding due process.
The Commission maintains that it remains an independent body and will follow the necessary legal procedures before officially declaring the results.
