Ablekuma North: EC to Re‑run Election in 19 Polling Stations

On July 2, 2025, the Electoral Commission (EC) announced a partial re‑run of the Ablekuma North parliamentary election, to be held on July 11, 2025, across 19 of the constituency’s 37 polling stations.

33 Out of 40 Excavators in Police Custody Went Missing – Hannah Bissiw
