NPP’s Nyindam takes lead in Kpandai rerun – Global InfoAnalytics poll

NewsNPP's Nyindam takes lead in Kpandai rerun - Global InfoAnalytics poll

The Global InfoAnalytics poll has announced that a new poll organised ahead of the Kpandai rerun revealed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, Mathew Nyindam, is leading ahead of the Kpandai rerun.

On Sunday, December 14, 2025, the Global InfoAnalytics poll showed Mathew Nyindam with 50% while NDC candidate, Daniel Nsala Wakpal, attracts 46% of the vote.

Donkor Eric Nipani, an independent candidate, only secured 1% of the vote, while 3% of respondents said they were undecided.

The poll also revealed that voters who initially backed Donkor Eric Nipani, with 28%, now support Mr Nyindam.

Also, the poll revealed Matthew Nyindam’s performance as MP during his short stint in parliament, with 3% of voters rating him as excellent, while 32% described his performance as very good or good.

Additionally, 36% rated his performance as average, with 29% assessing it as poor or very poor.

Meanwhile, the Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, Mussa Dankwah, has said that the NDC is favoured in the Kpandai rerun, but the race is too close to call.

Speaking on the findings of the poll on Channel One on Saturday, December 13, Mussa Dankwah explained, “The sentiments in Kpandai overall appear to favour the ruling NDC government in the sense that you have a majority of voters saying that the country is heading in the right direction”.

“So broadly, this is a sentiment that should really carry the NDC candidate across the finish line quite easily. What we’ve seen in the poll when it comes to the parliamentary election is that it is too close to call. The margin is just within the margin of error,” Mr. Dankwah said.

“For that reason, we have to wait for the final poll to see which direction the election will go,” he concluded.

In the meantime, 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.
