The Member of Parliament for Kpandai, Matthew Nyindam, has expressed heartfelt gratitude to God, the Supreme Court, and the people of his constituency following a landmark ruling that reinstated him as MP.
In a 4–1 majority decision, the Supreme Court set aside a High Court judgment that had previously nullified his election on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang dissented from the majority opinion.
The apex court’s decision followed an application by Mr Nyindam invoking the Supreme Court’s supervisory jurisdiction, arguing that the High Court had acted beyond its authority.
The justices agreed, holding that the lower court lacked jurisdiction to overturn the parliamentary results, thereby restoring Mr Nyindam’s mandate.
Reacting to the outcome, the Kpandai legislator described the ruling as a triumph for democracy and the voice of the people.
“I want to thank God for what He has done in my life, and also to thank my lawyers. I also want to use this opportunity to thank the Supreme Court judges for the ruling. It is clear that there were attempts to change the will of the people of Kpandai, but the Supreme Court has affirmed that will, and I am most grateful,” he said.
Mr Nyindam also acknowledged the support of the NPP leadership at the national, regional, and constituency levels, as well as the loyalty of Kpandai residents throughout the legal process.
“I am sure that if you are in Kpandai today, you will see the joy of the people. They voted for me and expected me to serve them for the full four-year term, and I remain committed to serving them diligently,” he added.
He further expressed appreciation to former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia for his encouragement during the court battle.
The ruling effectively ends months of uncertainty surrounding the Kpandai parliamentary seat and clears the way for Mr Nyindam to continue his work in Parliament.
