The High Court has ordered the Electoral Commission (EC) to recollate and declare the results for the Ablekuma North and Nsawam-Adoagyiri constituencies. This decision comes after a writ was filed by parliamentary candidates from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who alleged irregularities in the collation of results.
The court's directive, delivered by Presiding Judge Joseph Adu Owusu Agyeman, mandates the EC to carry out the recollation process for Ablekuma North. This decision was made despite objections from the NDC and NPP's legal representatives, who argued that the results had already been declared.
The court's decision to order a recollation is aimed at ensuring accuracy and transparency in the electoral process. The Ablekuma North constituency is currently represented by Sheila Penelope Bartels of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) .
