The National Council of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), the highest decision-making body of the party, is set to meet today to discuss the Electoral Commission’s (EC) directive to re-run parliamentary elections in 19 polling stations in the Ablekuma North Constituency. Apexnewsgh reports
The meeting comes as the party grapples with internal debate over whether to participate in the re-run or challenge the EC’s decision in court.
For the past seven months, residents of Ablekuma North in the Greater Accra Region have been without parliamentary representation due to disputed results in the December 7, 2024 parliamentary elections. The EC’s recent announcement of a re-run in selected polling stations has sparked disagreement within the NPP, with some stakeholders urging the party to contest the decision.
According to sources, today’s meeting is expected to bring finality to the party’s stance on the matter, which has created tension among key stakeholders since the EC’s announcement. The outcome of the meeting will determine whether the NPP will participate in the re-run or seek redress through the courts.
The decision of the National Council will have significant implications for the party and the constituency. Will the NPP choose to participate in the re-run, or will they challenge the EC’s decision in court? The outcome of today’s meeting will provide clarity on the party’s next steps.
