Akua Afriyie, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for the Ablekuma North Constituency, has firmly declared her intention to contest in the upcoming rerun of elections at nineteen (19) polling stations within the constituency.

In a public statement, Madam Afriyie assured her supporters that her name and face will appear on the ballot paper, debunking widespread rumors suggesting she has stepped down from the race.

"I want to make it categorically clear that I am very much in the contest. Disregard any false claims being circulated by my political opponents. I remain committed to serving the good people of Ablekuma North," she stated.
