Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, is pressing the Electoral Commission (EC) to urgently release a definitive plan to finalize the long-overdue collation of parliamentary election results in Ablekuma North.

He warned that any additional postponement could damage the integrity of Ghana’s democratic process.

Currently, Ablekuma North is the only constituency without parliamentary representation, months after the 2024 polls, due to unresolved disagreements over the election outcome.

Speaking ahead of a planned session with EC officials, Dr. Yohuno underscored the importance of quick action to maintain public trust in electoral institutions.

“The EC must provide the National Election Security Taskforce with a roadmap for the formalisation of the collation,” he said.

He emphasized that the outcome of this issue would shape broader perceptions of electoral transparency and fairness.

“This is a pivotal moment. The way we handle the collation in Ablekuma North will resonate across the country. It will set the tone, not only for this election, but also for public confidence in the years to come,” Dr. Yohuno added.

He also called on all stakeholders to remain peaceful and collaborative in resolving the issue.

“Let us secure not just the ballot boxes but also the belief in the system. Let us not protect just physical lives but also the spirit of democracy,” he urged.
