Ewurabena Aubynn of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been sworn in as the Member of Parliament for Ablekuma North by Speaker Alban Bagbin. Her induction comes after a fiercely contested rerun election, which was necessitated by the Electoral Commission’s annulment of the original December 2024 results due to allegations of electoral irregularities.<\/p>\n

The rerun, held across 19 polling stations, saw Aubynn secure 34,090 votes, narrowly defeating her NPP counterpart, Akua Afriyie, who garnered 33,881 votes – a margin of just 209 votes. The EC’s decision to annul the original results stemmed from discrepancies in vote figures, unsigned result sheets and procedural breaches during the collation process.<\/p>\n

Aubynn’s swearing-in marks a significant milestone for the NDC, granting the party a two-thirds majority in Ghana’s 275-member Parliament and bolstering their legislative influence. The ceremony was attended by senior NDC figures, lawmakers and dignitaries, underscoring the importance of this moment in the party’s 2025 legislative agenda.<\/p>\n
