Kpandai: NDC MP Files Lawsuit Against EC Over Mathew Nyindam’s Parliamentary Election Victory

The Member of Parliament (MP) and National Democratic Congress Parliamentary Candidate for Kpandai, Daniel Nsala Wakpal, has filed a suit challenging the election of Matthew Nyindam as the Member of Parliament-elect for the constituency on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party.

According to Wakpal, the parliamentary election held in the Kpandai constituency on December 7th was invalid.

Wakpal stated that there were irregularities and inconsistencies in FORM 8A (Regulation 32 (7) and 39 (2) statement of polls for the office of Member of Parliament (Pink Sheet) for 41 polling stations out of a total of 152 polling stations in the Kpandai constituency.

“The parliamentary election held in the Kpandai constituency on 7th December 2024 was not conducted in compliance with regulations 39 of the Public Elections Regulations, 2020 (CI 127) and the principles laid down by Regulations 39, and that the said non-compliance affected the results of the elections.

“The declaration and publication of the parliamentary election results held in the Kpandai constituency on 7th December 2024 were not made in compliance with Regulations 43 of the Public Elections Regulations, 2020 (C.I 127) and the principles laid down by Regulations 43, and that the said non-compliance affected the entire results of the parliamentary elections in the Kpandai constituency,” he further stated.

The Kpandai MP is therefore seeking an order setting aside the declaration of the parliamentary election results affecting the 41 polling stations out of a total of 152 polling stations in Kpandai.

“An order directed at the 2nd and 3rd respondents to conduct a re-run of the parliamentary elections in the affected 41 polling stations out of the 152 polling stations in the Kpandai constituency on a date determined by the court.”
