Managing Director of the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA), Abraham Amaliba, has called for the Supreme Court to step in to clarify the legal uncertainty surrounding the disputed parliamentary election in the Kpandai Constituency.

Speaking on Channel One TV on Saturday, December 13, Mr Amaliba argued that only an authoritative constitutional interpretation from the apex court can resolve questions over the status of the Kpandai parliamentary seat, particularly in light of ongoing legal processes initiated by New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate Matthew Nyindam.

According to him, the controversy stems from the unresolved stay of execution and appeal filed against the High Court ruling that ordered a rerun of the election.

He questioned whether a parliamentary seat can legitimately be declared vacant while such applications remain pending.

“The most appropriate way forward is to seek an interpretation from the Supreme Court,” Mr Amaliba said.

“The Court must determine whether a vacancy still exists when processes like an appeal and stay of execution have been filed, or whether the seat should remain occupied until those matters are resolved.”

The dispute arose after the Tamale High Court ordered a rerun of the Kpandai parliamentary election following a petition by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, Nsala Wakpal, who challenged the outcome of the 2024 polls won by Mr Nyindam.

The NDC contended that the final collation of results was conducted in the absence of its candidate or a duly accredited representative, a situation it said undermined the integrity of the electoral process and warranted judicial intervention.
