General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has criticised the Electoral Commission (EC) over its decision to rerun the Ablekuma North parliamentary election, describing it as “an act of contempt of court” and a dangerous precedent.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Kodua insisted that the January 4 court order directed the EC to complete the collation of results and declare a winner—not to organise a rerun.
“All the EC requested was police escort for collation, so why this sudden change? We will never be part of a rerun,” he stated.
Mr. Kodua further challenged the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to produce the original pink sheets if they truly believe they won the election.
“The NDC knows they have lost but are trying to intimidate us. If they genuinely won, they should have supported the EC with police protection for collation,” he argued.
The NPP maintains that it won the election based on its pink sheet records and is urging the EC to proceed with the collation of results from the three outstanding polling stations—not a rerun of 19 polling stations as announced.
He added that the EC’s “u-turn posturing doesn’t add up” and called on the Commission to explain the sudden shift in its approach.
