IGP Yohuno urges EC to provide roadmap for Ablekuma North election collation

EC

The EC said it was still awaiting assurance from the Ghana Police Service regarding protection for the collation of the Ablekuma North parliamentary election results.

Until the police provide the necessary security guarantee, the Returning Officer cannot proceed to review the results and make a final determination on the winner.

The EC had scheduled a meeting with the IGP to discuss security arrangements, but the meeting had not taken place because the IGP was reportedly unavailable.

The EC said it could not proceed without police clearance, while the police insisted that the EC should follow up with the IGP to set a date for the meeting.

This development has further delayed the conclusion of the electoral process in the constituency, leaving residents in anticipation of a representative in the Ninth Parliament.

Before Parliament went on recess, the Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, in his closing remarks, expressed the hope that the issue would be resolved for the constituency to have representation when the House reconvened for the next session.
