The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has reclaimed the Ablekuma North parliamentary seat after Ewurabena Aubynn secured a narrow victory in the closely contested rerun held on Friday, July 12, 2025.
According to official results declared by the Returning Officer, Joseph Nii Kwartey Okpoti, Ewurabena Aubynn polled 34,090 votes, beating her main contender Nana Akua Owusu Afriyieh of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who garnered 33,881 votes.
This gives Aubynn a winning margin of just 209 votes.
Out of a total of 68,328 ballots cast, 67,917 were valid, while 411 were rejected.
With this outcome, the NDC flips the Ablekuma North seat, one of the constituencies where parliamentary elections were rerun following a court order.
Aubynn’s win adds to the opposition party’s tally in Parliament and is seen as a significant political gain in the Greater Accra Region.
With the win, NDC now has 184 seats, constituting two-third majority in parliament.
The rerun was marred by incidents of violence, including reported assaults on journalists and party officials, prompting calls for investigations and accountability.
Nonetheless, the Electoral Commission has confirmed the results from all 281 polling stations.
