Kpandai MP Matthew Nyindam says he feels vindicated after the Supreme Court overturned the High Court ruling that annulled his parliamentary election.
Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express on Wednesday, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) lawmaker described the ruling as divine intervention, saying, “My God has spoken.”
His remarks follow a Supreme Court decision by a 4–1 majority that set aside the High Court judgment that had nullified his victory in the 2024 parliamentary elections.
The apex court upheld Mr Nyindam’s application, ruling that the High Court committed a jurisdictional error, and effectively restored his mandate as Member of Parliament for Kpandai.
Reacting to the decision, the MP said the past year had been emotionally draining.
“It’s been hell, to be honest with you, for one year now. I’ve never had peace to work as an MP, but I’ve been enduring it because that’s part of the job,” he said.
He recalled the moment the High Court in Tamale delivered its ruling on November 24, 2025, describing it as a turning point in his life.https://www.youtube.com/embed/Fq3KYSsAcXU?si=XGjR1QMSi4eWQzau
“I was actually shocked by the decision by the High Court in Tamale, and it changed everything about me,” he stated.
Mr Nyindam said the legal battle exposed him to a side of the country he had never encountered before.
“I’ve seen the other side of Ghana, which is the judicial side. Honestly, I’ve never been to court. I’m 50 years old now, and I’ve never been to court. It’s the first time, and I think that is an experience no one wants to go through,” he said.
He added that he would not wish such an ordeal on any Member of Parliament.
“I always say that I don’t wish any MP to go through the kind of experience,” he noted.
Defending his electoral victory, Nyindam insisted his win was clean and legitimate.
“I won the elections. There’s no dirt. I can tell you I’ve never cheated deliberately in life before,” he said.
He reflected on his political journey in Kpandai, noting that he first won the seat in 2013 against significant odds.
“You know me very well since 2013, when I was in Parliament. Since 1992, it’s been in the hands of the NDC for 20 years until I came,” he said.
Matthew Nyindam recounted that at the time, he was a classroom teacher contesting against a sitting MP who had served for two decades and was also a minister.
“I advertised myself, availed myself to the people, and they elected me against all the odds,” he said.
