Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande, has expressed strong confidence in his party’s chances of winning the upcoming parliamentary rerun in the Ablekuma North Constituency, while levelling sharp criticism at the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and its candidate, Nana Akua Afriyie.
Gbande’s remarks follow the Electoral Commission’s (EC) decision to rerun parliamentary elections in 19 polling stations within the constituency, citing irregularities in the original results from the December 7, 2024, general elections.
The decision has been fiercely contested by the NPP, which has described it as “unjust” and accused the EC of proceeding without broad consensus during stakeholder consultations. The party has since filed an interlocutory injunction to block the rerun and has declared its intention to boycott the process altogether.
Appearing on Face to Face on Channel One TV with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Tuesday, July 8, Mustapha Gbande backed the EC’s directive and expressed strong support for the NDC’s parliamentary candidate, Ewurabena Aubynn.
