The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced a decisive rerun of the Council of State elections for the North East and Ashanti Regions, scheduled for Monday, February 17, 2025. Apexnewsgh reports
This significant development comes after a series of complications during the initial election process in both regions.
In the North East Region, the rerun is necessitated by an unprecedented tie between two candidates, each securing six votes. The EC aims to ensure a fair and definitive outcome for voters in the region.
Meanwhile, the situation in the Ashanti Region was markedly different. The initial election faced chaos that disrupted the counting of ballots, leaving the entire process incomplete. In light of these challenges, the EC deemed a rerun necessary to uphold the integrity of the electoral process.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, February 12, the EC reassured the public that it is taking thorough measures to secure the election venues. The commission has communicated with the Ghana Police Service and copied the National Election Security Taskforce with the expectation that heightened security will effectively prevent any further disruptions during the upcoming elections.
As the date approaches, all eyes will be on the North East and Ashanti Regions to observe how the reruns unfold, promising a critical moment for voters and candidates alike.
