Rashid Tanko Computer is Deputy Director of Elections and IT for the NDC
The Deputy Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Rashid Tanko Computer, has welcomed the decision of the Tamale High Court to rerun the parliamentary election in the Kpandai Constituency.
He explained that the decision indicates the party’s long-standing warnings about electoral manipulation.

“All along, the NDC has been saying that there are several crooked electoral officers bent on stealing people’s mandate, and one of these has been exposed today,” he said in an interview with the media after the court ruling on Monday, November 24, 2025.
Tanko-Computer said the NDC had consistently maintained that the Kpandai seat rightfully belonged to the party.

“They rigged the election, and we have been saying time and again that we will continue to expose crooked electoral officials who try to rig elections. We will stop them and ensure the NDC prevents such machinery of the then NPP and their collaborators in the Electoral Commission,” he said.
Tanko-Computer further pointed out irregularities in the 2024 election.
“Clearly, CI 127, if you look at Regulation 43(1A) up to (H), spells out how a conditional parliamentary election is done. You collect results based on two forms. You assemble the results from Form 1C and then put the summaries on Form 1D and declare the results. This was not done.
“They organised themselves, ran to a family house, cooked some results, and announced them as a parliamentary candidate-elect,” he alleged.
The Tamale High Court, presided over by Justice Emmanuel Brew Plange, annulled the 2024 parliamentary election results for Kpandai and ordered a fresh poll within 30 days, following a successful legal challenge.
The petition was filed by the NDC candidate, Daniel Nsala Wakpal, who alleged that the December 7, 2024, election was marred by serious irregularities. He claimed inconsistencies in Form 8A (the “pink sheet”) from 41 polling stations out of 152, arguing that these breaches violated Regulations 39 and 43 of the Public Elections Regulations (CI 127).
