Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has criticised the Electoral Commission (EC) for what he describes as an “indecent haste” in scheduling a rerun of the Kpandai parliamentary election.
Dr. Bawumia argued that the EC’s decision overlooks ongoing legal processes involving NPP candidate Matthew Nyindam, who currently has appeals before both the High Court and the Supreme Court. He emphasised that none of these cases have been concluded, making the commission’s rush inappropriate.
He further noted that in similar electoral disputes in other constituencies, the EC waited until all judicial processes were fully exhausted before taking action, questioning why Kpandai is being treated differently.
Dr. Bawumia warned that bypassing established democratic procedures could undermine public confidence in Ghana’s governance and threaten institutional stability.
