The 2024 National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for Ablekuma North, Ewurabena Aubynn, has voiced her frustration and disappointment with the Electoral Commission due to their lack of engagements with her team.

Speaking exclusively with GhanaWeb on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, ahead of the 2025 Budget presentation in Parliament, the politician accused the Electoral Commission of holding consultations and meetings with her opponent’s camp without informing her or her team.

She expressed her frustrations over the electoral management body’s failure to consult with her team on several occasions regarding pending issues.

She further highlighted a similar situation during the re-collation process of results in her constituency, where they had no prior knowledge about its resumption.

“They’ve been quiet. We do pick information here and there that they engage mostly with the NPP and we do get wind of it, but when it comes to the NDC side, they are quiet. And that has been our complaint. Even when the re-collation was going on, we never get informed,” she disclosed to GhanaWeb.

Aubynn criticised the Electoral Commission for what she described as the institution’s failure to remain neutral.

She questioned why the EC, as an independent and neutral body, would take actions that create the impression of favoring one party over another when the issue involves two parties.

“You know, we either chance on them or we get wind of it. And then before you realise, they are re-collating with the NPP and this has been a worry because why are you, as a referee or supposedly an independent body, trying to play to the gallery of one part of two contesting parties or individuals,” she questioned.

Providing an update on the progress of their lawsuit challenging the Ablekuma North parliamentary results, Aubynn stated that the case is still in court.

She reaffirmed her faith in the judicial system, expressing confidence that the will of the constituents will ultimately prevail.

Currently, the Ablekuma North constituency has no representation in Parliament due to the electoral results being disputed.
