Parliament’s notice to the EC officially makes Nyindam’s Kpandai seat vacant
Parliament has formally notified the Electoral Commission (EC) of vacancy regarding the Kpandai parliamentary seat, following a recent court order for a rerun of the 2024 parliamentary elections in the constituency.
In a letter dated December 4, 2025, signed by Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, the Clerk to Parliament and addressed to the Chairperson of the EC, Jean Mensah, it stated;
“In exercise of the power conferred and the duty imposed on the Clerk to Parliament by Article 112(5) of the 1992 Constitution, I hereby formally notify you of the occurrence of a vacancy in the membership of Parliament, occasioned by the Order of the High Court, Tamale, for a rerun of the Kpandai Parliamentary Elections, given on November 24, 2025.”
The development has officially triggered the process for the EC to organise a rerun in the Kpandai Constituency, as mandated by law.
On November 24, 2025, the Tamale High Court ordered a rerun of the parliamentary election in the Kpandai constituency, directing the Electoral Commission to conduct fresh polls within 30 days.

The ruling followed a petition filed by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate, Daniel Nsala Wakpal, challenging the declaration of Matthew Nyindam as the Member of Parliament for Kpandai.
Wakpal argued that the December 7, 2024, parliamentary election was fraught with irregularities.
He cited inconsistencies in Pink Sheets (Form 8A) from 41 out of 152 polling stations and asked the court to nullify results from only those affected polling centers.

In delivering his verdict, Emmanuel Brew Plange, ruled that the irregularities identified were significant enough to affect the integrity of the entire electoral process in the constituency.
He subsequently ordered a complete rerun of the parliamentary election in Kpandai in the next 30 days.
