The Supreme Court will today, Tuesday, December 16, hear the embattled Member of Parliament for Kpandai, Mathew Nyindam’s application seeking to quash the Tamale High Court decision to annul the Kpandai parliamentary election.
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.
Mathew Nyindam, in his application, argued that the Tamale High Court erred in assuming jurisdiction over the election petition filed by the NDC candidate Daniel Nsala Wakpal.
He is seeking judicial review to quash the High Court’s judgment, together with all processes and proceedings following the court decision.
Meanwhile, out of court, the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) has announced the Kpandai Parliamentary election rerun will be held on Tuesday, December 30.
In a statement signed by the Deputy Director of Research Mr Fred Tetteh read, “The Electoral Commission wishes to inform the General Public that following the Tamale High Court’s ruling on Monday, 24th November, 2025, ordering a rerun of the “Kpandai Constituency Parliamentary Election within thirty (30) days” and upon receipt of a letter from the Clerk to Parliament on Tuesday, 9th December, 2025, formally notifying the Commission of the occurrence of a vacancy in the Membership of Parliament, the seat of the Constituency in Parliament has become vacant.
The Electoral Commission will hold a rerun of the Parliamentary Election in the Kpandai Constituency on Tuesday, 30th December, 2025.
The rerun of the Kpandai Constituency Parliamentary Election will be conducted for only the three (3) Candidates who contested the 2024 Parliamentary Election in the said Constituency”.
The EC decision follows Mr Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, the Clerk to Parliament, who 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.
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.
