The Member of Parliament for Kpandai, Mathew Nyindam, has accused the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) of orchestrating a plan against him after his parliamentary seat was declared vacant.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Nyindam expressed frustration over the ongoing legal processes concerning the stay of execution filed by his lawyers. He said the court adjourned the matter to December 18, when a ruling will be delivered.
“The stay of execution has been scheduled to be heard in court. We want the law to be upheld. The lawyers made their submissions, but the judge said he will give a ruling on December 18. I don’t understand why I am being treated this way. I took a leave of absence from Parliament to explain my situation to my constituents. I was there when I received the news that my seat had been declared vacant,” he lamented.
Nyindam questioned the basis for the push for a rerun, arguing that election results cannot be canceled over what he describes as “unsubstantiated irregularities.”
He added, “I’ve come to realize that this is a planned action by the NDC against me. Where have you heard of election results being canceled due to unsubstantiated irregularities? I am also not being allowed to be heard in court. What wrong have I done?”
