Matthew Nyindam, the candidate at the centre of the Kpandai election challenge, says he will consult his party leadership and constituents before deciding whether to contest the court-ordered parliamentary re-run in the constituency.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the AM Show, Nyindam stressed that the final decision will reflect the wishes of the people and the party. <\/p>\n

\u201cI will listen to the party. I will listen to the parliamentary leadership. I\u2019m sure this is an issue that came up yesterday, and then I will listen to my constituents. The best decision will be taken at the end of the day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that engaging directly with the people of Kpandai is important for transparency and accountability. \u201cIt is my right to come and explain to the people the challenges I have found on the seat. I need to go back and explain to them. If today they say we should go and re-run, and at the end of the day the people of Kpandai say, \u2018Matthew, it is you we want to represent us,\u2019 they will renew my mandate,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

The comments follow the Parliamentary Service\u2019s formal notification to the Electoral Commission (EC) of a vacancy in the Kpandai seat, after a High Court order mandated a re-run of the 2024 parliamentary election in the area. <\/p>\n

The notification, dated 4th December 2025, signals the start of administrative processes required to organise the re-run.<\/p>\n

The letter, signed by the Clerk to Parliament, Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, was addressed to EC Chairperson Jean Mensa. <\/p>\n

According to the Clerk, the action was taken \u201cin exercise of the power conferred and the duty imposed on the Clerk to Parliament by Article 112(5), as amended, of the 1992 Constitution of the Republic of Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n

The outcome of the re-run will be crucial in determining representation for the people of Kpandai, and Nyindam\u2019s comments suggest he is weighing both party guidance and constituent opinion before confirming his participation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
