The New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Ablekuma North, Nana Akua Owusu Afriyie, has firmly stated her intention to contest in tomorrow’s rerun election in the constituency, despite the party’s official decision not to participate.
Speaking ahead of the polls, Madam Owusu Afriyie expressed confidence in both her chances and the outcome.
“We are fully prepared. Tomorrow, we are going to this contest. We went for the election on 7th December, 2024, and I won this election with 34,613 votes. My opponent had 34,199. We collated this together; my polling agents and their polling agents went through all that,” she declared.
She added that results from 278 polling stations had already been collated, showing her in the lead by 349 votes, with only three polling stations remaining.
“What I want to put on record is that darkness can never cover light. I am the light; I am the truth. I walk with the gracious God. The Lord is going to talk tomorrow; justice will prevail. I am contesting this election, and I am coming out victorious,” she said.
Her comments come amid tensions surrounding the Electoral Commission’s decision to rerun 19 polling stations of the election in Ablekuma North, a move the NPP leadership has rejected, describing it as unjust.
Despite the party’s official stance, Nana Akua Owusu Afriyie’s declaration suggests she is forging ahead with her campaign.
Deputy Elections Director of the NDC, Tanko Computer, has been speaking to the media after a pre-collation exercise was done at Ablekuma North.
