Kpandai’s election rerun sparks backlash from chiefs and residents ahead of 2025 vote
A court-ordered rerun of Kpandai constituency's parliamentary elections has sparked opposition from local chiefs and residents. They argue that the decision risks destabilising peace in the area, despite the Electoral Commission setting a new vote for December 30, 2025. The dispute follows a High Court ruling that found irregularities in the December 2024 elections, which initially confirmed Mathew Nyindam as the constituency's MP. President John Dramani Mahama had officially recognised Nyindam's victory, but the court's decision now threatens his position. The Electoral Commission remains committed to holding the rerun as scheduled. However, opposition from traditional leaders and the community raises concerns about potential unrest. The outcome will determine whether Nyindam retains his seat or faces a new contest in 2025.
