The Savannah Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sulemana Iddrisu, has, on behalf of the party, reacted to the Supreme Court's ruling that quashed a High Court decision which had annulled Matthew Nyindam's victory.
The apex court, by a 4–1 majority, held that the High Court erred in law, with Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang dissenting.
Sulemana Iddrisu described it as a victory for Ghana and not just for Mr. Matthew Nyindam and the New Patriotic Party.
"Yes, it's a victory for Ghana, our Constitution and not just for Matthew or the NPP. Because the Court has stuck to the evidence brought by us [NPP] and the National Democratic Congress [NDC] and gave its ruling. What is more than this if not for Ghana?" he indicated.

Mr Iddrisu further indicated the victory is also a reflection of a workable constitution, adding, "because when the Court in Tamale ruling came, we didn't 'misbehave' but went straight to the Supreme Court and true to the spirit of the constitution, the court has spoken."
"If the constitution says in 21 days you should file, and it elapses, and you later filed, and the court can identify it, it means our Judiciary is not just working but up to the task," he added.
Ahead of the upcoming NPP Presidential primaries, the chairman appealed to aspirants and the party's delegates to embrace unity.
"We [NPP] have done it before through unity, and I want to say, going into this family exercise, we need unity, and that's the game changer.
"With that [unity] we can go far. And now, everybody can see that with unity, we can go beyond the Presidential election. Because with unity, there's understanding, love, respect and forgiveness," Mr. Sulemana Iddrisu insisted.
