Nana Bristiam Okore Atosah II, the Paramount Chief of the Kpandai Traditional Area, has said they are not opposed to the Tamale High Court decision.
According to the Paramount Chief of Kpandai, there is nobody to stand against the court verdict, adding that they are going to vote once the chance comes.
The Chief further emphasised that Kpandai is peaceful, and anybody claiming Kpandai is at war is a liar.
Nana Bristiam Okore Atosah II also warned traditional leaders against engaging in partisan politics.
Speaking to the media at his Palace on Tuesday, December 9, Nana Atosah stated, “We, the chiefs and opinion leaders in Kpandai, are saying that we are nobody to stand against the verdict of the court.
We will vote if the chance comes from the court. And again, we fear nobody, Kpandai is peaceful, and anybody telling you Kpandai is at war is a liar”.
The Paramount Chief of the Kpandai Traditional Area’s remarks come on the heels of some Chiefs of the Kpandai district having 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, in parliament, there was commotion in parliament on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, following the minority members abandoning their seats and massing in the centre of the chamber.
Members of the minority and majority caucuses clash in a fierce confrontation over calls by the minority for the adjournment of parliamentary seating, in protest of the declaration of the Kpandai seat vacant.
The minority members massed up in the centre of the chamber, which led to a brief scuffle and brought proceedings to a halt.
Reports suggest the disturbance erupted following the declaration of the Kpandai parliamentary seat as vacant, with the minority describing the decision as unlawful and procedurally flawed.
Leading to the commotion, the Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, had dismissed the continuous protest from the Minority, arguing that the Minority is trying to obstruct parliamentary business.
The Majority leader stated, “We will not be distracted. I will let Ghanaians know that you are only pretending to be democrats… How can the Speaker rule if he has not heard all sides?”
However, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Minority Chief Whip, insisted government business “will suffer” until the Kpandai matter is resolved.
The Minority then intensified their protest despite the Speaker’s attempts to continue business, rising and moving to the middle of the chamber and chanting.
MPs from both sides then clashed in the centre of the floor, with the Marshals then forced to step in as tempers flared.
