EC to Hold Kpandai parliamentary Rerun on December 30
The Electoral Commission of Ghana has set December 30 to hold the rerun of the Kpandai Parliamentary election.
In a notice, it confirmed receipt of the vacancy declaration notification by Parliament.
“The Electoral Commission wishes to inform the General Public that following the Tamale High Court’s ruling on Monday, 24th November, 2025, ordering a rerun of the “Kpandai Constituency Parliamentary Election within thirty (30) days” and upon receipt of a letter from the Clerk to Parliament on Tuesday, 9th December, 2025, formally notifying the Commission of the occurrence of a vacancy in the Membership of Parliament, the seat of the Constituency in Parliament has become vacant.”
Meanwhile, it said three candidates will contest.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate for the area, Daniel Nsala Wakpal, filed a petition claiming the December 7, 2024, election was marred by serious irregularities.
He pointed out inconsistencies in Form 8A (the “pink sheet”) from 41 out of 152 polling stations, citing breaches of Regulations 39 and 43 of the Public Elections Regulations (CI 127).
The court ruled that these irregularities compromised the election’s integrity and ordered the Electoral Commission (EC) to conduct a rerun of the parliamentary election in the entire constituency within 30 days.
Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party candidate (NPP), Matthew Nyindam, who until the ruling occupied the seat, has filed an appeal against the Court ruling.
