The Member of Parliament for Kpandai, Mathew Nyindam, has filed an application at the Supreme Court to overturn a High Court ruling in Tamale that annulled the 2024 parliamentary election results and ordered a rerun of the election results.
According to a report by channelonenewsonline.com, lawyer for the embattled lawmaker, Gary Nimako Marfo, argued that the High Court, Commercial Division in Tamale, wrongfully assumed jurisdiction over the petition filed by NDC candidate Daniel Nsala Wakpal.

“The Parliamentary Election Petition filed by the 1st Interested Party on 25th January 2025… was invalid and could not have properly invoked the jurisdiction of the High Court, Commercial Division, Tamale,” the report noted.
The High Court ruling, delivered on November 24, 2025, nullified the entire Kpandai parliamentary election and directed that a rerun be conducted within 30 days.
Nyindam is now seeking judicial review in the nature of certiorari to quash that judgment, together with all related processes and proceedings.
The report further noted that the Supreme Court is expected to hear the application on Tuesday, December 16, 2025.
