The Supreme Court has quashed a High Court judgment which annulled the Matthew Nyindam election, as Member of Parliament for Kpandai.
The court, by a majority decision (4–1) delivered on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, has quashed the ruling of the High Court in Tamale, which nullified the parliamentary election results for the Kpandai Constituency.
The apex court held that the Tamale High Court lacked jurisdiction to hear the election petition filed by the defeated NDC parliamentary candidate, as the petition was presented outside the mandatory statutory time limit. This followed a judicial review application filed by Lawyer Gary Nimako, Director of Legal Affairs of the NPP.
Consequently, the proposed parliamentary election rerun in Kpandai will not take place.
The Supreme Court’s decision effectively upholds the election of the NPP’s Matthew Nyindam as the duly elected Member of Parliament for Kpandai.
