Alexander Afenyo-Markin is the Minority Leader in Parliament
The Minority Caucus in Parliament has raised concerns over the High Court ruling that annulled the 2024 parliamentary election in the Kpandai Constituency, insisting that the process was transparent and the outcome reflected the will of the people.
In a statement issued on Monday, November 24, 2025, the caucus reiterated that the election was conducted in a credible manner and that the facts leading to the declaration had been properly verified.

“The Minority Caucus wishes to clarify the facts surrounding the 2024 parliamentary election in the Kpandai Constituency and recent developments that have followed. The records show a transparent process, a credible declaration, and a result that reflected the will of the people. It is important for the public to have a full understanding of what occurred before, during and after the collation,” it noted.
The Minority explained that the public deserves clarity on events before, during, and after the collation, given the tensions that arose on election day.

According to the caucus, supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate, Daniel Nsala Wakpal, attempted to disrupt the collation after arriving at the centre in a Mahindra pickup, alleging that the Electoral Commission lacked the required pink sheets to declare the results.
“Daniel Nsala Wakpal, gathered a group of supporters who arrived at the collation centre in a Mahindra pickup wearing NDC T-shirts. They damaged some ballot boxes in an attempt to interrupt the collation, believing that the Electoral Commission would not have the pink sheets required to complete the declaration,” it said.
It further argued that the court’s ruling did not align with the evidence presented.
The Minority Caucus maintained that even if all 500 votes reportedly contested were awarded to the NDC candidate, the outcome of the election would not have changed, as the margin of victory exceeded 3,000 votes.
“Wakpal realised that he had lost the election, he refused to go to Tamale for the collation. The Electoral Commission continued with its work and declared Hon Mathew Nyindam the winner with 27,947 votes, while Hon Nsala secured 24,213 votes,” it stated.
A High Court in Tamale nullified the parliamentary election results in Kpandai and ordered a rerun in the entire constituency.
Meanwhile, the incumbent Member of Parliament, Matthew Nyindam, has filed a notice of appeal and a stay of execution to challenge the ruling, expressing confidence that the appellate process will restore the mandate delivered by the people of Kpandai.
