The Tamale High Court has ordered a rerun of the Kpandai parliamentary election within 30 days from today Monday, November 24, 2025.
The decision of the High Court judge, His Lordship Emmanuel Brew Plange, was due to irregularities in the voting and collation processes that undermined the credibility of the outcome.
The petition alleged irregularities in the voting and collation processes that undermined the credibility of the outcome.
The former Member of Parliament (MP) and National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for Kpandai, Daniel Nsala Wakpal, filed the suit challenging the election of Matthew Nyindam as MP.
According to Wakpal, the parliamentary election held in the Kpandai constituency on December 7 was invalid. He argued that there were irregularities and inconsistencies in FORM 8A (Regulation 32(7) and 39(2) Statement of Polls for the Office of Member of Parliament — Pink Sheet) for 41 polling stations out of the 152 polling stations in the constituency.
He stated: “The parliamentary election held in the Kpandai constituency on 7th December 2024 was not conducted in compliance with Regulations 39 of the Public Elections Regulations, 2020 (CI 127) and the principles laid down by Regulations 39, and that the said non-compliance affected the results of the elections.
“The declaration and publication of the parliamentary election results held in the Kpandai constituency on 7th December 2024 were not made in compliance with Regulations 43 of the Public Elections Regulations, 2020 (C.I 127) and the principles laid down by Regulations 43, and that the said non-compliance affected the entire results of the parliamentary elections in the Kpandai constituency.”
TV3’s Northern Region correspondent Christopher Amoako reported that Counsel for Mathew Nyindam, Sylvester Esang, files a motion of appeal for stay of execution.
“We anticipated this judgment because of the things we heard prior to the judgment. We respect the decision of the court, but we disagree with the judgment. We are totally dissatisfied with the court ruling,” Sylvester Esang said.
