Mr. Daniel Nsala Wakpal, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Kpandai in the 2024 general election, has filed an application for judicial review at the Supreme Court seeking to overturn its earlier judgment that upheld Mr. Matthew Nyindam of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as the duly elected Member of Parliament for the constituency.
The application challenges the Supreme Court’s January 28, 2026 decision which affirmed Mr. Nyindam’s election victory following a legal contest over the parliamentary results in the Kpandai Constituency in the Northern Region.
Mr. Wakpal, through his legal team, is asking the apex court to review and set aside the ruling on grounds he believes warrant a reconsideration of the judgment.
The judicial review application invokes the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction under Article 133 of the 1992 Constitution and Rule 54 of the Supreme Court Rules, which allow the court to review its own decisions in exceptional circumstances.
According to the application, the NDC candidate contends that there are substantial legal and factual issues arising from the earlier judgment that merit the court’s attention.
The January 28 ruling brought to a close a heated legal dispute over the Kpandai parliamentary election results after the NDC challenged the declaration of Mr. Nyindam as the winner.
The Supreme Court, however, dismissed the challenge and upheld the NPP candidate’s election.
The filing of the review application means the Supreme Court will once again be called upon to examine the issues surrounding the contested parliamentary seat.
