NPP Slams Court’s Kpandai Judgment as “Unmitigated Legal Disaster

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has expressed outrage over a recent court judgment calling for a rerun of the Kpandai elections, describing it as an “unmitigated legal disaster”.

Speaking at a press conference, NPP National Organizer, Henry Nana Boakye, stated that the party won the Kpandai elections with a decisive margin of 3,734 votes, and that the court’s decision to void the election was a clear injustice.

Nana Boakye argued that the petitioners’ own evidence showed that they were challenging only 41 polling stations, with a total of around 500 votes involved, and that the court had ignored the requirement to only consider the affected results.

“The court’s decision is a travesty of justice and a clear example of judicial overreach,” Nana Boakye said. “We will not accept this judgment and will resist it with all our might.”

The NPP is committed to democracy and the rule of law, and believes that the court’s decision is a setback for the country’s electoral process.

Nana Boakye also pointed out that the court’s decision was in contravention of established principles, including the requirement that non-compliance with electoral laws must be significant enough to affect the outcome of the election.
