The former Member of Parliament for Kpandai, Matthew Nyindam, has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of orchestrating the upcoming rerun, insisting that the 2024 election was conducted fairly.

In an interview with Joy fm on Thursday, December 11, he stated that the High Court ruling that triggered the rerun was unjustified.

“I can tell you without any fear of contradiction that nothing went wrong with the election. We have gone to the Court of Appeal to challenge the ruling, but they are not allowing me to even contest the decision,” he stated.

He expressed frustration over the parliamentary seat being declared vacant prematurely, noting that cases related to the election are still pending at the Supreme Court, scheduled for December 16 and 18.

“Then the Electoral Commission comes out with a date for a rerun. You see how they have planned this. It is a planned thing,” he added, directly blaming the NDC for the alleged manipulation.

Despite his criticisms, Mr Nyindam expressed confidence in his support base and vowed to contest the rerun. “I am not worried. I am waiting for the 30th. The people of Kpandai who voted for me in the 2024 election believe that I can represent them,” he said.

The Electoral Commission has scheduled the rerun of the Kpandai Constituency Parliamentary Election for Tuesday, December 30, 2025. This follows a ruling by the Tamale High Court on Monday, November 24, 2025, which ordered the rerun to take place within thirty days.

The Commission also received formal notification from the Clerk of Parliament on Monday, December 8, 2025, confirming that the parliamentary seat for Kpandai has officially become vacant.
