30 December 2025 has been set as the date the Electoral Commission has set for the Kpandai parliamentary election rerun.
The Electoral Commission says it is prepared to hold the Kpandai parliamentary election rerun despite ongoing legal appeals related to the court’s annulment.
Recent opinion polls show Matthew Nyindam of the opposition NPP holding a slight lead over Daniel Nsala Wakpal of the governing NDC, approximately 50% vs. 46%, but the race is very tight and within the margin of error.
Analysts describe the contest as competitive and unpredictable going into the rerun. Tagging along is it’s political context and controversies.
The Tamale High Court annulled the 2024 parliamentary election results in the Kpandai Constituency, ruling that the original poll was flawed and ordering a full rerun.
The court’s decision was delivered after a petition by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, Daniel Nsala Wakpal, who challenged the results that initially declared Matthew Nyindam of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) the winner.
There are ongoing legal challenges and appeals related to the annulment, including proceedings in the Supreme Court.
Results of the rerun will determine who becomes the MP for Kpandai following the annulled 2024 result.
