The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has warned that if the Tamale High Court judgement is allowed to stand, it will unleash chaos.
Nana B noted that if the court decision is allowed to stand, it will unleash chaos that will consume Ghana’s democracy.
Henry Nana Boakye is quoted as saying, “If the Tamale High Court judgement is allowed to stand, it will unleash chaos that will consume our democracy”.
In parliament yesterday, December 9, 2025, Frank Annoh-Dompreh 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“That letter must be withdrawn forthwith… Ghana is a fledgling democracy, and the least we can do is to support the procedure.”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.”
The development led to 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.
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.
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”.
