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.
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”.
Meanwhile, 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”.
