The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has criticised the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for filing an appeal against the annulment of the Kpandai parliamentary election before the official reasoning of the court ruling is released.
The criticism by Rashid Tanko Computer, Deputy Director of Elections and IT for the NDC, comes in response to the NPP’s rejection of the Tamale High Court ruling, which annulled the 2024 parliamentary election in Kpandai and ordered a fresh poll following a petition by the NDC candidate Daniel Nsala Wakpal.
The party has filed a notice of appeal and a motion for stay of execution, insisting that the ruling is flawed and the original results remain valid.
Speaking on JoyNews’ The Pulse on Monday, November 24, Tanko Computer described the NPP’s move as premature.
“They [NPP] have spoken about going for an appeal and filing a stay of execution. But have they even looked at the reasoning behind the ruling?
"The judge just said our petition was upheld and that the reasoning will be given to us on Friday. You have not even seen it, and you’ve gone to file for appeal. What are you appealing for? So you see how interesting the NPP can be?” he said.
