The Supreme Court has quashed the decision of the High Court in Tamale that nullified the 2024 parliamentary election results for the Kpandai Constituency in the Northern Region.
The decision was taken by a majority of four to one, with Justice Gabriel Pwamang dissenting.
The apex court consequently set aside the November 24, 2025 judgment of the High Court in Tamale, together with all consequential actions and orders that arose from the decision.
Under the ruling, Matthew Nyindam, the NPP Member of Parliament for Kpandai, will be reinstated in Parliament. Nyindam and his legal team are required to serve the judgment on the legislature to complete his return to office.
The decision overturns the High Court’s earlier judgment, which had nullified Nyindam’s election following a petition by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, Daniel Nsala Wakpal.
The High Court had subsequently ordered a rerun, which was scheduled for December 31, 2025, but was stayed when Nyindam approached the Supreme Court to invoke its supervisory jurisdiction.
The decision marks the end of a months-long legal battle over the parliamentary seat in Kpandai, which has been closely watched as a test of Ghana’s electoral and judicial processes.
Matthew Nyindam, through his legal representatives, is now expected to take steps to reinstate himself officially in Parliament.
