The Majority Chief Whip, Nelson Rockson Dafeamekpor, has urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to brace itself for a re-run of the Kpandai Parliamentary election, insisting the governing NDC is already campaigning in the constituency.
Speaking to the press in Parliament, Dafeamekpor dismissed claims by the Minority about the court ruling on the Kpandai seat and said the NPP must focus on the actual contest rather than “peddling falsehood.”
According to him, despite Speaker Alban Bagbin’s directive granting the incumbent MP, Matthew Nyindam, a seven-day window for a stay of execution, the NDC is treating the situation as a straightforward call to action on the ground.
“We are here to set the record straight that they lost the matter, and they are dazed,” he said. “The battleground is in Kpandai… not in the foyer of Parliament. The job is on the ground. We, NDC, are on the ground. We are working.”
Dafeamekpor stressed that the party has already begun active campaigning in the constituency and accused the NPP of remaining in Accra instead of preparing for the re-run.
“As we speak, NDC, we are working. We are in Kpandai. We are campaigning. They won’t come and campaign, and when they lose, they blame innocent people,” he added.
The re-run follows a legal challenge to the parliamentary results in the Kpandai Constituency, where both parties have been contesting the legitimacy of the outcome since the 2024 general elections.
The Speaker’s ruling this week briefly paused the enforcement of the decision, but the Majority insists the political reality on the ground remains unchanged.
The NDC earlier formally notified the NPP to prepare for a fresh contest, describing the re-run as inevitable “whether rain or shine.”
