Ewurabena Aubynn, who claimed her seat as the representative for the Ablekuma North constituency on July 22, 2025, has already made waves in the political arena.
During the exuberant parliamentary proceedings, the Speaker Alban Bagbin warmly welcomed her, cheekily noting that the addition of this final member brings the total count of women in the chamber to a remarkable forty-one.
“If this is not a blessing, then what else?” he exclaimed, igniting laughter throughout the room.
In a light-hearted warning, he added,
“And I saw some of you taking her telephone number. Please, Honourable members, she is not in the market. She is not in the market, so don’t attempt.”
This playful remark prompted a flurry of amusing reactions across social media, as users shared their own witty commentary on the unfolding drama in the House.

Ewurabena Aubynn officially sworn in
In a subsequent announcement, the Member of Parliament-elect for Ablekuma North, Ewurabena Aubynn of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), was formally sworn into office by the Speaker.
This ceremony was not without its drama, however, as it followed a striking walkout by the Minority Caucus, sparked by the Speaker's decision to deny a request from Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh to deliver a statement before the swearing-in.
Aubynn's ascent to office marked the conclusion of a fiercely contested parliamentary rerun in the Ablekuma North constituency.
The rerun, held at 19 polling stations, was necessitated by the Electoral Commission's decision to nullify the results of the original December 2024 election due to an array of concerns regarding electoral irregularities and the submission of unauthenticated pink sheets.
Aubynn's win brought an end to the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) 28-year dominance in the constituency. The party had been winning in the constituency since 1996 with bigwigs like Kwamena Bartels and Justice Joe Appiah serving three and two terms respectively.
Nana Akua Owusu Afriyie, who lost with 33,881 votes against Aubynn's 34,090 votes after the re-run, is also a former MP for the constituency, who served from 2017 to 2021. Afriyie lost in the 2016 NPP primary to Kwamena Bartels' daughter, Sheila Bartels, who won and served from 2021 to 2025. Afriyie came back to defeat Sheila Bartels in the 2024 NPP primary.
