The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has reaffirmed its full support for the embattled Member of Parliament for the Kpandai Constituency, Matthew Nyindam, as he contests the High Court ruling that annulled his election victory.
Addressing a press conference in Accra on Tuesday, December 9, National Organiser Henry Nana Boakye declared that the party stands firmly behind Nyindam as he navigates the legal process.
“The NPP stands as one solid rock behind the MP for Kpandai, Matthew Nyindam. His fight is our fight, his course is our course, and his course will be the course of every NPP member,” Nana Boakye said.
“Do not lose heart. The NPP has not abandoned you. We have not retreated. We are with you completely and unfailingly. We will walk every step of this legal journey with you. We will fight in every court, at every hour, with a calculated agenda,” he added.
Nyindam Remains Calm, Confident Ahead of Supreme Court Review
Despite the legal uncertainties surrounding his seat, Nyindam has expressed confidence in the judicial process. Speaking to JoyNews on Tuesday, December 9, he said he remains hopeful as the case advances toward the Supreme Court.
“We are in the appeal court, and we are still waiting. The Supreme Court has set a date of December 16 to listen to us. The rest is a matter for the lawyers; it is technical. Whichever way they want to go, I believe that I have a God. Everybody is destined one way or another. Wherever my destiny lands me, so be it,” he said.
Background to the Legal Challenge
The controversy stems from a ruling by the High Court in Tamale, which annulled Nyindam’s parliamentary election victory and ordered a rerun in the Kpandai Constituency within 30 days. The decision prompted Parliament to formally notify the Electoral Commission (EC) of a vacancy.
In a letter dated December 4, 2025, Clerk to Parliament Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror informed EC Chairperson Jean Mensa that the judgment delivered on November 24, 2025, necessitates a fresh election. The case Suit Number NR/TL/HC/E13/22/25 listed the Clerk of Parliament as the fourth respondent.
The EC is yet to announce a date for the rerun pending further legal processes.
