The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, has sharply criticised the High Court judge who ordered a rerun of the Kpandai parliamentary election, describing the ruling as unjust, flawed, and an overreach of judicial authority.
The rerun order was issued by Justice Emmanuel Bart Plange Brew of the Tamale High Court, after which Parliament on Monday, December 8, 2025, officially declared the Kpandai seat vacant and notified the Electoral Commission (EC).
Speaking to journalists in Accra on Tuesday, December 9, Nana B accused the judge of mishandling the burden of proof, arguing that the ruling favoured speculation over evidence.
“This is not interpretation; this is dictatorship from the bench. Clearly, in this case, the burden of proof was cynically manipulated by this judge,” he stated.
He further criticised the court for failing to hold the petitioner accountable for alleged vandalism that forced the relocation of the collation centre during the election and for accepting what he described as vague and unsubstantiated claims of irregularities.
“The petitioner produced no credible tally, yet speculation became acceptable,” Nana B added.
