Electoral proceedings in the Ablekuma North constituency have hit a roadblock as conflicting reports and missing documents create uncertainty over the outcome.
While some of the nine other outstanding constituencies have successfully declared winners, the situation in Ablekuma North remains unresolved, leaving stakeholders and residents in limbo.
Returning Officer Obeng Vincent, speaking to Channel On, clarified the crux of the issue. “We cannot declare results when critical documents are absent.
There are 62 polling stations yet to be accounted for or collated, and without the pink sheets, this process cannot move forward.”
He added that although the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has submitted results from 25 of these polling stations, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has yet to provide their pink sheets for verification.
This lack of documentation has led the Returning Officer to seek intervention from the Electoral Commission.
“I do not have the authority to announce results without the proper backing of evidence. We need the Electoral Commission to step in to ensure fairness and transparency,” he stated.
