press conference to welcome the Tamale High Court\u2019s decision to nullify the 2024 parliamentary election results. <\/p>\n<p>The court, presided over by Justice Emmanuel Brew Plange, cited electoral irregularities as the basis for its ruling and directed the Electoral Commission to conduct a fresh poll within 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the press conference in Kpandai, the party\u2019s Communications Officer, Anijadong Gregory, described the ruling as historic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe meet here today at a defining moment in the political history of our constituency,\u201d he said, referencing the court\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<p>The NDC communications officer stated that the ruling followed compelling evidence presented before the court, demonstrating that the election fell short of the legal and constitutional standards required for a free, fair, and credible parliamentary poll.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"

party used the opportunity to contextualise the matter within Ghana\u2019s electoral legal framework. <\/p>\n<p>He highlighted Article 45 of the 1992 Constitution, which mandates the Electoral Commission to conduct and supervise all public elections, and Article 46, which reinforces the Commission\u2019s independence. <\/p>\n<p>He added that Article 99(1) grants the High Court the authority to determine the validity of a Member of Parliament\u2019s election.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the NDC views the court\u2019s decision as both an opportunity and a responsibility, with only 30 days to demonstrate that the people\u2019s mandate was stolen and to secure victory through transparency and legality.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Annalong thanked the Tamale High Court for upholding the rule of law, the party\u2019s candidate for his resilience, and supporters for their unwavering belief in the NDC.<\/p>\n<p>In a rallying call, he urged citizens of Kpandai to unite, work together, and reclaim the mandate that rightfully belongs to the people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n            <div class=\"twp-reactions-icons\">\n                \n
