NDC will win Ablekuma North rerun – Dafeamekpor

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) will win the Ablekuma North rerun, according to Member of Parliament for South Dayi and Majority Chief Whip of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor.

He has disclosed that the party is fully prepared and confident of victory in all 19 polling stations in the Ablekuma North Constituency, where a rerun of the parliamentary election is scheduled to take place on Friday, July 11, 2025.

“We are hopeful of winning all 19 polling stations,” he stated.

‎Speaking in an interview on GTV Breakfast Show on Thursday, July 11, 2025 ahead of the rerun, Mr. Dafeamekpor explained that the NDC has always pushed for the rerun because of irregularities that affected the initial results in the 19 polling stations.

He said it was through his efforts that the Electoral Commission was brought before Parliament to answer questions on the matter, which eventually led to the decision for the rerun.

Meanwhile, the Greater Accra Regional Director of Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Joshua Alabi, has reiterated the party’s commitment to ensuring peace and security during the upcoming parliamentary rerun in Ablekuma North.

His assurance comes amid public concerns over potential security lapses following disruptions to the collation process during the 2024 general elections in the constituency.

Speaking exclusively on Channel One Newsroom on Wednesday, July 9, Mr. Alabi expressed confidence in the preparedness of both the Electoral Commission (EC) and security agencies to conduct a smooth and incident-free rerun at the 19 affected polling stations.

He emphasized that, based on his observations, the security situation appears far more organized than before:

“There were security lapses in the last elections. The EC itself also failed to live up to its bidding in the last elections, but I believe they have done its homework. The security has also done their homework very well, so this time around, the tags we are going to use will have our names on them, which is one of the means too.

“I am very much convinced that with the few I have seen on the ground, I don’t think we are going to have the lapses we experienced the last time. If we are able to be on the ground ourselves, we are part of the security, nothing untoward is going to happen, and it is only 19 polling stations. I don’t foresee any challenge. If there is one, the security will take care of them.”

Alabi also assured that the NDC will approach the rerun with fairness, integrity, and a commitment to democratic principles.
