Kpandai Parliamentary Re-run: Minority Caucus disagrees with court ruling, rejects re-run

Published

on

The Minority Caucus has issued an official statement rejecting High Court ruling that nullified the 2024 Kpandai parliamentary election, insisting the poll was transparent and reflected the will of the people.

According to the Minority Caucus, records show a transparent process, a credible declaration, and a result that reflected the will of the people.

In a statement signed by the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, it is important for the public to have a full understanding of what occurred before, during and after the collation.

The statement noted that Matthew Nyindam won the parliamentary election with a margin of 3,734 votes.

The statement added that “After the NDC secured the presidential results, the NDC parliamentary candidate, Daniel Nsala Wakpal, gathered a group of supporters who arrived at the collation centre in a Mahindra pickup wearing NDC T-shirts.”

“They damaged some ballot boxes in an attempt to interrupt the collation, believing that the Electoral Commission would not have the pink sheets required to complete the declaration. The tension that followed created serious security risks,” the statement alleged.

According to the Minority, this led the Electoral Commission to move the final declaration to its regional office in Tamale. All NDC agents had already signed the pink sheets at every polling station across the constituency. confirming the accuracy of the results.

They added that when Wakpal realised that he had lost the election, he refused to go to Tamale for the collation.

The Electoral Commission continued with its work and declared Matthew Nyindam the winner with 27,947 votes, while Hon Nsala secured 24,213 votes.

“Wakpal later challenged the results in court. His case focused on his absence in Tamale and on clerical errors in 41 out of 1$2 polling stations. During the trial, the main witness for the NDC stated that the total votes in contention were about 500. Even if the court had awarded all 500 votes to the NDC candidate, he would still have lost by more than 3,000 votes,” they further noted.

They highlighted in their statement that despite this clear position, the Tamale High Court has nullified the entire results and ordered a rerun in the constituency.
