FULL JUDGEMENT: Why Tamale Court ordered rerun of Kpandai parliamentary election

On November 24, 2025, Justice Emmanuel Bart-Plange Brew of the Tamale High Court, in a ruling on the parliamentary election for the Kpandai constituency, ordered a rerun of the election, which is currently held by Matthew Nyindam of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The Electoral Commission has also been ordered to conduct the election rerun within 30 days.

In a 155-page decision shared by TheLawPlatform, the Tamale High Court held that non-compliance with electoral regulations had materially affected the integrity of the vote.

The petitioner, National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate Daniel Nsala Wakpal, had argued that the December 7, 2024, election was marred by irregularities challenging the legitimacy of the results from the December 7, 2024, election.

The official results annulled by the High Court showed Nyindam winning with 27,947 votes (53.47%) against Wakpal’s 24,213 votes (46.33%).
