The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for the Kpandai Constituency, Daniel Nsala Wakpal, has filed an application at the Tamale High Court seeking to have the Electoral Commission (EC) chair, Jean Mensa, cited for contempt for failing to organise a rerun of the parliamentary election in the constituency.
The application, filed pursuant to Article 99 of the 1992 Constitution and Section 16 of the Representation of the People Act, 1992 (PNDCL 284), relates to the disputed parliamentary election held in Kpandai on December 7, 2024.
Mr Wakpal is challenging the declaration of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Matthew Nyindam as Member of Parliament-elect for the Kpandai Constituency by the Electoral Commission.
In the motion on notice for committal for contempt, filed under Order 50 Rule 1(2) of C.I. 47, counsel for Mr Wakpal is asking the court to cite and commit Madam Mensa for contempt of court.
According to the application, the Electoral Commission chair has failed to comply with a Tamale High Court directive requiring it to organise a rerun of the parliamentary election in the constituency, prompting the contempt proceedings.
The Tamale High Court is expected to hear the motion on December 23, 2025.
