The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for the Kpandai Constituency, Daniel Nsals Wakpal, has filed an application at the Tamale High Court seeking to have the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Mensa, cited for contempt for failing to conduct a rerun of the parliamentary election in the constituency.
The application, filed pursuant to Article 99 of the 1992 Constitution and Section 16 of the Representation of the People Act, 1992 (PNDCL 284), concerns the disputed December 7, 2024 parliamentary election in Kpandai.
Mr. Wakpal is challenging the EC’s declaration of the New Patriotic Party’s Matthew Nyindam as Member of Parliament-elect for the constituency.
In the motion for committal for contempt, filed under Order 50 Rule 1(2) of C.I. 47, counsel for the NDC candidate is asking the court to commit Madam Mensa for failing to comply with an earlier Tamale High Court directive ordering a rerun of the election.
The Tamale High Court is expected to hear the motion on December 23, 2025.
