The Supreme Court is set to hear an application on Tuesday, December 16, seeking to quash the judgment of the Tamale High Court that annulled the Kpandai parliamentary election.
The application was filed by the embattled Member of Parliament for Kpandai, Mathew Nyindam, who is challenging the High Court’s decision to nullify the December 7, 2024, parliamentary election results. Mr. Nyindam contends that the High Court erred in assuming jurisdiction over the election petition filed by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, Daniel Nsala Wakpal.
In his application, Mr. Nyindam is seeking a judicial review to quash the High Court’s judgment, along with all processes and proceedings arising from what he describes as an invalid petition.
Following the High Court ruling, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) promptly applied for a stay of execution to prevent the NDC and the Electoral Commission from acting on the annulment decision, pending the outcome of the Supreme Court proceedings.
Meanwhile, the Deputy General Secretary of the NPP, Haruna Mohammed in an interview with Citi News on Monday, December 15, 2025, said the party will wait for the Supreme Court’s decision before determining its next course of action.
Speaking on the matter, Mr. Mohammed said, “For now, there is no election until we get a definitive ruling from the court. What the court is going to say will inform our decision. If it comes out positively, in line with the law, it means that Mathew Nyindam, having won the election, will continue to be the Member of Parliament for Kpandai, and the victory remains ours.”
He added that the party would respond firmly if the ruling goes against them.
“But if the ruling comes otherwise, and the law is thrown to the dogs in the face of the Ghanaian people, we will make our stance very clear, and we will face whatever the court decides,” he stated.
