The High Court, Commercial Division, in Tamale, delivered a ruling on November 24, 2025, that annulled the parliamentary election victory of Mathew Nyindam (NPP) in the Kpandai Constituency and ordered the Electoral Commission to conduct a rerun within 30 days.
The decision followed a petition filed by the NDC candidate, Daniel Nsala Wakpal, challenging the legitimacy of the results from the December 7, 2024, election.
The High Court ruling hinged on findings of irregularities, although Mr. Nyindam later argued the court lacked jurisdiction due to the petition being filed 32 days after the results were gazetted, exceeding the 21-day statutory period.
The official results annulled by the High Court showed Nyindam winning with 27,947 votes (53.47%) against Wakpal’s 24,213 votes (46.33%).
Nyindam subsequently filed an application at the Supreme Court seeking to quash this High Court judgment.
Below is the full high court judgement:
