The Chiefs of the Kpandai district have called on President John Dramani Mahama to intervene in the Tamale High Court order for a rerun.
Nana Nkpajator Nkpawiase II, the Chief of Blajai, who spoke on behalf of the others, rejected the Tamale High Court order for a rerun of the parliamentary election.
The Chiefs argued that the court’s decision could lead to a potential impact on community peace.
They argued that Nyindam was duly elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) to represent the people of Kpandai smoothly.
Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), the chiefs advised that a rerun could lead to violence and destabilise the community.
The Chiefs further called on the NDC parliamentary candidate, Daniel Nsala Wakpal, to exercise patience and focus on the Election 2028.
Meanwhile, Mr Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, the Clerk to Parliament, has formally notified the Electoral Commission (EC) of a vacancy in the membership of Parliament for the Kpandai Constituency.
This follows the High Court ordering a re-run of the 2024 Parliamentary Elections in that area within 30 days.
It will be recalled that the Tamale High Court, on November 24, 2025, ordered the rerun of the Kpandai parliamentary election within 30 days.
According to the High Court, the Electoral Commission has within 30 days from today to conduct the rerun.
His Lordship Emmanuel Brew Plange made this declaration following the legal challenge of the 2024 parliamentary election by the former Member of Parliament (MP) and the NDC, Daniel Nsala Wakpal.
The Parliamentary Service formally notified the Electoral Commission on 4th December 2025, which initiated the administrative process required to organise a re-run to fill the vacant seat.
The Clerk to Parliament letter was addressed to the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs Jean Mensa.
According to the Clerk to Parliament the action was taken “In exercise of the power conferred and the duty imposed on the Clerk to Parliament by Article 112(5) of the 1992 Constitution, I hereby formally notify you of the occurrence of a vacancy in the membership of Parliament, occasioned by the Order of the High Court, Tamale, for a rerun of the Kpandai Parliamentary Elections, given on November 24, 2025.”
“Occasioned by the Order of the High Court, Tamale, for a re-run of the Kpandai Parliamentary Elections, given on the 24th day of November, 2025”.
Additionally, Rockson Dafeamekpor, the Majority Chief Whip, has told the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to prepare for the re-run of the Kpandai Parliamentary election.
Dafeamekpor boldly told the NPP, the battleground is in Kpandai, not in the foyer of Parliament.
According to him, the NDC are already in Kpandai campaigning, adding that the NPP won’t campaign but when they lose will come and blame innocent people.
Addressing journalists in Parliament on November 28, 2025, Dafeamekpor stated, “We are here to set the record straight that they lost the matter, and they are dazed. The battleground is in Kpandai, not in the foyer of Parliament. The job is on the ground. We, the NDC, are on the ground. We are working”.
“As we speak, the NDC is working. We are in Kpandai. We are campaigning. They won’t come and campaign, and when they lose, they blame innocent people,” he added.
