The embattled Member of Parliament (MP) for Kpandai Constituency, Mathew Nyindam, has accused Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin of being unfair to him as an individual and as a legislator.
Speaking in an interview on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, Mr. Nyindam said Parliament is meant to be a place where every MP can be heard, but he feels he has been denied that right.
“The Speaker has not been fair to me. When we talk about democracy and the rule of law, Parliament is where an individual should be heard. What he has done to me means he has not given me a fair chance,” Nyindam said.
He added that as Speaker, Bagbin should have protected him, recalling that the Speaker has previously witnessed and handled similar disputes.
“Even in the Gyakie Qyayson issue, he was there as the Speaker and witnessed the matter. Everyone who becomes an MP and has an issue in Parliament, the Speaker has seen it. So to treat me like this, I don’t know the motivation behind it,” he said.
Mr. Nyindam expressed confusion over the decision to contest his seat, insisting that he should have been allowed to present his side of the story.
“Whatever they took to court, I don’t understand why I am being treated this way. I don’t even know why they want to take my seat from me. At least allow me to tell my side, but they didn’t, and subjecting me to this kind of treatment leaves me speechless,” he said.
His remarks come after a Tamale High Court ruling annulled his parliamentary election victory and ordered a rerun in the Kpandai Constituency within 30 days. Following the ruling, Parliament formally notified the Electoral Commission (EC) of the vacancy.
In a letter dated December 4, 2025, the Clerk to Parliament, Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, informed EC Chairperson Jean Mensa that the judgment delivered on November 24, 2025, necessitates a fresh election.
The notification, issued under Article 112(5) of the 1992 Constitution, officially triggers the electoral processes required for the rerun in Kpandai.
