Kpandai MP Mathew Nyindam has approached the Supreme Court to overturn the High Court’s annulment of his December 2024 parliamentary win.
Nyindam argues that the High Court lacked jurisdiction to hear the petition filed by NDC candidate Daniel Nsala Wakpal, which was filed 32 days after the election results were gazetted, beyond the 21-day limit under Section 18 of the Representation of the People Law, 1992.
In his affidavit, Nyindam states; “The Parliamentary Election Petition filed by the 1st Interested Party on 25th January 2025…was invalid and could not have properly invoked the jurisdiction of the High Court.”
The High Court ruling on November 24, 2025, annulled the election and ordered a rerun. Nyindam is seeking certiorari to quash the judgment and related proceedings. The Supreme Court will hear the case on December 16, 2025.
Nyindam, representing the NPP, had won with 27,947 votes (53.47%) against Wakpal of the NDC, who had 24,213 votes (46.33%).
