Ablekuma North constituency has suffered another setback due to violence during collation exercise.
The constituency has been denied a parliamentary representative since January 7th, 2024 elections. Several attempts to collate the final results has not been successful.
One such recent incident even led to the resignation of the returning officer Vincent Obeng on January 8th 2025.
Following several failures in the collation process, the EC set 8am today for another collation exercise to be held at the old head office of the Electoral Commission in Accra.
Today however, suspected thugs purported to be members of the NDC stormed the collations center, ordered everyone out of the room, ransacked the place, and destroyed doors and louvre blades.
The security officials were outnumbered and couldn’t prevent the mob from causing more damage.
No arrests have been made so far.
