Ewurabena Aubynn of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has emerged victorious in the rerun of some selected polling stations’ election in the Ablekuma North constituency, claiming a seat the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has held since the inception of the Fourth Republic. 

The decisive rerun, held across 19 polling stations, ended with Aubynn polling 34,090 votes against the NPP’s Akua Afriyie, who garnered 33,881 votes.

The rerun was necessitated by the abrupt disruption of the December 7, 2024, parliamentary election results collation process in Ablekuma North.

Violent clashes at the collation centre halted the declaration of results from 19 polling stations, leaving the constituency without a Member of Parliament for over six months.

After a protracted legal battle, the High Court directed the Electoral Commission (EC) to finalise the process. However, citing persistent security threats, the EC instead opted to conduct fresh elections in the affected polling stations.

The rerun, which witnessed a voter turnout of more than 6,000, proceeded largely smoothly despite minor incidents of violence in certain parts of the constituency. 

Electoral officers and security personnel were deployed heavily to maintain order and ensure a credible process. 

The constituency, which has long been considered a stronghold of the NPP, witnessed an intense and competitive campaign leading up to the rerun, with both major parties pouring resources and national attention into the contest.

Ewurabena Aubynn’s win marks a political milestone, not only for her personal career but also for the NDC, which now holds 184 seats in Parliament. 

This gives the ruling party a two-thirds supermajority, a threshold never reached since Ghana’s return to constitutional rule in 1992. 

The NPP, now in opposition, holds 87 seats following the recent passing of Ernest Yaw Kumi, the MP for Akwatia. With this supermajority, the NDC-led Parliament is now positioned to exercise far-reaching legislative powers. 

These include the ability to pass legislation without resistance from the opposition, amend sections of the Constitution, independently form a parliamentary quorum, and approve key executive decisions and appointments without bipartisan negotiation.

Addressing jubilant supporters and the media shortly after the announcement of her victory, Ewurabena Aubynn described the win as both hard-earned and anticipated. 

“My win was expected because we worked so hard for it. Our hard work and the goodwill of President Mahama both contributed to my victory today. I am thankful to my party’s national, regional, and constituency executives for their commitment to my course. I also thank the media for their coverage of the election.”

Aubynn’s campaign was widely praised for its grassroots focus, community engagement, and strategic messaging that resonated with voters in a constituency long considered a difficult terrain for the NDC.

Her victory is being hailed as emblematic of the NDC’s resurgence and organizational strength, especially under the current leadership of President John Dramani Mahama.

Reacting to the results, North Tongu MP and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, lauded Aubynn’s performance and underscored the broader political significance of the outcome. 

He emphasised that her win not only reaffirmed the trust the electorate has in the NDC but also provided the ruling party with a legislative mandate to pursue key reforms and deepen governance.

“The people of Ablekuma North have sent a clear message. This is a vote of confidence in the NDC’s policy direction and in the leadership of President Mahama. Ewurabena’s victory is not just a local triumph; it’s a national endorsement of the party’s progressive agenda.”

The defeat represents a symbolic and substantive blow to the NPP’s parliamentary presence, especially in a constituency that once served as a barometer of its urban appeal.
