Matthew Nyindam, the previously declared winner of the Kpandai parliamentary election, has said he is unfazed by the brouhaha surrounding the court decision for a rerun.
According to Matthew Nyindam, he has nothing to hide because he did not cheat in the 2024 election as the Electoral Commission (EC) prepares for a court-ordered re-run.
He accused the NDC government of wielding tremendous influence over national processes.
Speaking on the AM Show, Mr Nyindam stated, “I am so fine because I am not troubled. We’ve not cheated in this particular election”.
He added, “What I’ve realised is that there is a government that is so strong and whatever they want to do, they will want to do it.
They don’t care whether you are right or you are wrong,”
He added, “We are in the appeal court, and we are still waiting. The Supreme Court has set a date of December 16 to listen to us. The rest is a matter for the lawyers; it is technical. Whichever way they want to go, I believe that I have a God. Everybody is destined one way or another. Wherever my destiny lands me, so be it”.
Also, the NPP’s National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye, has said the party will not abandon Matthew Nyindam.
Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Tuesday, December 9, Henry Nana Boakye stated, “The NPP stands as one solid rock behind the MP for Kpandai, Matthew Nyindam. His fight is our fight, his course is our course, and his course will be the course of every NPP member.
“Do not lose heart. The NPP has not abandoned you. We have not retreated. We are with you completely and unfailingly. We will walk every step of this legal journey with you. We will fight in every court, at every hour, with a calculated agenda,” he emphasised.
Additionally, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Minority Chief Whip, has called for Parliament to immediately withdraw the official letter notifying the Electoral Commission (EC) of a vacant seat in the Kpandai Constituency.
The Minority Chief Whip argued that the letter signed by the Clerk to Parliament on December 4, 2025, was issued in disregard of due process.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament, Annoh-Dompreh stated, “We strongly submit that the letter that was filed with the Electoral Commission was out of place, was unfortunate, and flies in the face of law and procedural justice”.
“That letter must be withdrawn forthwith… Ghana is a fledgling democracy, and the least we can do is to support the procedure.”
“We on this side of the House cannot support that decision,” he stressed. “The clerk must be instructed forthwith to withdraw that letter and act according to law.”
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.
