Dome Kwabenya: EC orders rerun at Abokobi Women’s Development Centre

The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced a rerun of the election at the Abokobi Women’s Development Centre 2 polling station in the Dome Kwabenya constituency.

This decision follows discrepancies found during the collation of results from 367 polling stations, with issues arising from three polling station results.

One result, affecting 669 voters, was rejected due to errors on the statement of poll.

After verifying the other two results, the margin between the leading candidates narrowed to 165 votes, making the rerun critical to determining the final outcome.

Dr. Serebour Quaicoe of the EC confirmed the rerun will occur before the new parliamentary session is inaugurated.

The election’s integrity has been questioned, with Elikplim Akurugu of the NDC initially declared the winner, flipping a traditionally NPP stronghold.
