Ewurabena Aubynn Wins Historic Parliamentary Rerun for NDC in Ablekuma North

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has achieved a groundbreaking victory in the Ablekuma North Constituency, with Ewurabena Aubynn emerging as the newly elected Member of Parliament in a highly anticipated parliamentary rerun held on Friday, July 11, 2025. This outcome marks a historic turning point for the opposition party in a traditionally New Patriotic Party (NPP) stronghold.

Ewurabena Aubynn’s victory comes after the Electoral Commission ordered a rerun in 19 out of 281 polling stations following a legal contest and controversies surrounding the initial 2024 general election results. Her win is being hailed as a significant political shift that could reshape voter dynamics in the Greater Accra Region. In a statement following the declaration, Aubynn thanked voters for their trust, promising to prioritize community development, youth empowerment, and transparent governance. Her campaign focused on inclusive leadership, accessible healthcare, and addressing sanitation and unemployment challenges in the constituency.

NDC’s Momentum Builds Ahead of 2028 Elections

This result not only strengthens the NDC’s parliamentary presence but also boosts morale for the party ahead of the 2028 general elections. Party leaders and grassroots supporters have celebrated the win as evidence of growing public dissatisfaction with the governing NPP and a testament to the party’s renewed strategy and community engagement.

Political analysts say the NDC’s focused approach to mobilizing voters, especially in previously overlooked urban constituencies, is beginning to bear fruit. The Ablekuma North outcome is seen as a bellwether for broader political trends in urban Ghana, particularly in Accra, where cost-of-living concerns and calls for public accountability are rising.

Ewurabena Aubynn’s win has been described by supporters as inspirational, especially for women in politics, as it represents a fresh wave of leadership committed to grassroots representation. The rerun itself, closely monitored by civil society groups and election observers, was largely peaceful and transparent, reinforcing trust in Ghana’s democratic processes.
