Ghanaian NPP MPs Petition Police Over Election Delay in Ablekuma North

Ghanaian NPP MPs Petition Police Over Ablekuma North Election Delay Ablekuma North, Ghana – Members of Parliament from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have formally petitioned the Inspector General of Police, citing concerns over the prolonged delay in declaring the results of the Ablekuma North parliamentary seat in the 2024 general elections. The MPs expressed their worry about the lack of adequate security during the electoral process, which they believe has contributed to the delay. "This delay is unacceptable and disenfranchises the people of Ablekuma North," stated one of the NPP MPs in a video recording of the event. The video shows the MPs surrounded by police officers as they present their petition. The MPs further emphasized that this delay is unprecedented in Ghana's Fourth Republic and sets a dangerous precedent for future elections. They are demanding immediate action to ensure the swift and transparent declaration of the results. The petition underscores the importance of a secure and efficient electoral process in upholding democratic principles and ensuring the rights of citizens to representation are protected. The Electoral Commission is yet to respond to the petition, and the situation remains a focus of public attention.
