The New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for the Kpandai Constituency, Nyindam, was seen celebrating with some executives of the party after the Supreme Court suspended a planned rerun of the constituency’s parliamentary election.
The apex court issued the order on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, after hearing an application filed by Nyindam, who is challenging a decision of the Tamale High Court that annulled the December 7, 2024, parliamentary election in the constituency.
The Supreme Court subsequently adjourned the matter to January 13, 2026, for further hearing.
Nyindam, who is the embattled Member of Parliament, is asking the Supreme Court to review and quash the High Court’s judgment, arguing that the court wrongly assumed jurisdiction in the election petition.
Supreme Court suspends Kpandai constituency election re-run
He maintains that the election petition was invalid from the outset and that all proceedings arising from it ought to be set aside.
The election petition at the Tamale High Court was filed by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate, Daniel Nsala Wakpal, who challenged the outcome of the 2024 polls in the constituency.
According to Nyindam, the High Court acted outside its legal mandate and committed fundamental errors, warranting the intervention of the Supreme Court through judicial review.

Following the High Court’s decision to annul the election, the NPP applied for a stay of execution, seeking to halt any steps by the Electoral Commission and the NDC to enforce the ruling, including the conduct of a parliamentary rerun, pending the final determination of the case by the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court’s decision to suspend the rerun preserves the status quo while it considers the substantive legal issues raised in the application.
