National Democratic Congress (NDC) youth in the Kpandai Constituency have taken to the streets to protest a recent Supreme Court ruling that overturned an earlier decision by the Tamale High Court which had annulled the parliamentary election victory of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Matthew Nyindam.

The protesters say the apex court’s decision does not reflect the will of voters in the constituency and have called on the party’s national leadership to take urgent steps to challenge the ruling.

They argue that, with the NDC now in government, the party must act decisively to seek a review of the judgement in the interest of what they describe as justice for Kpandai.

They further maintained that the party’s parliamentary candidate, David Nsala, remains the legitimate choice of the people and should be recognised as such.

The demonstrators warned that continued inaction could weaken grassroots confidence in the party within the constituency.

Speaking to Channel One TV during the protest on Monday, February 2, one of the demonstrators said the party had a responsibility to pursue all available legal options, warning that the youth would reconsider their support if nothing is done.

“We went to court in Tamale, and we won the case. We expected the same outcome at the next level. The party must stand up and seek a review of the judgment,” he said.

He added that the situation had left many party supporters disillusioned. “Our candidate, Nsala, is the right person, and we need him. The party must rise and do the right thing for him and for the NDC in Kpandai. We, the youth, are not comfortable with what has happened in Kpandai and within the NDC,” he stressed.

On January 26, the Supreme Court set aside the Tamale High Court’s decision that annulled the parliamentary election results in the Kpandai Constituency, thereby halting the Electoral Commission’s planned rerun.

The ruling was delivered by a 4–1 majority, with Justice Gabriel Scott Pawmang dissenting, while Justices Yonny Kulendi, Amadu Tanko, Samuel Asiedu and Henry Kwofie formed the majority.

The Court granted an application for certiorari filed by NPP MP Matthew Nyindam, who challenged the High Court’s jurisdiction, with the full reasons for the decision expected to be released on February 6, 2026.
