EC to re-run Council of State election in Ashanti and North East regions on February 17

The Electoral Commission has announced plans to re-run the Council of State election held in the North East and Ashanti regions on Monday, February 17, 2025.

This is contained in a press release dated February 12 and signed by the Deputy Chairman in charge of Operations, Mr Samuel Tettey.

“This is because there was a tie in the Election in the North East Region. The top two candidates each had six (6) votes. As such, the Election has to be re-run. In the Ashanti Region, the Election was disrupted by thugs and could therefore not be concluded,” Mr Tettey explained.

“The Commission has written to the Ghana Police Service and copied the National Election Security Taskforce to heighten security at the venues of the elections to prevent any disruptions,” he added.
