Ewurabena Aubynn’s victory in the July 11, 2025 parliamentary rerun for Ablekuma North marked a seismic shift in Ghana’s political landscape.
Representing the National Democratic Congress (NDC), she overturned nearly three decades of New Patriotic Party (NPP) dominance in the constituency, winning by a razor-thin margin of 209 votes.
Her triumph wasn’t just electoral—it was symbolic of a new generation of leadership rooted in grassroots activism, community empowerment, and political resilience.
Political career
Aubynn’s rise began with her selection as the NDC parliamentary candidate for Ablekuma North in the 2024 elections.
Though initially declared winner, electoral irregularities led to a rerun in 19 polling stations.
She maintained pressure through legal petitions, public vigils, and media engagement, eventually reclaiming the seat with 34,090 votes against Nana Akua Owusu Afriyie’s 33,881.
Her campaign emphasized transparency, youth employment, and infrastructure development. She pledged to tackle long-standing issues like flooding, poor roads, and inadequate drainage, describing them as “simple but deep” problems.
Her win also contributed to the NDC’s supermajority in Parliament, giving the party unprecedented legislative leverage.
Community engagement
In February 2023, Aubynn launched the Awula Foundation in Kwashieman.
The initiative supports orphans, single-parent households, and women entrepreneurs through scholarships, business capital, and staple commodities.
Her philanthropic work predates her political career and reflects her commitment to inclusive development.

Family background

Impact & legacy
