The candidate at the centre of the Kpandai election challenge, Matthew Nyindam, says he remains unfazed by the latest developments surrounding the Kpandai Parliamentary Elections, insisting that he has nothing to hide as the Electoral Commission (EC) prepares for a court-ordered re-run.
Speaking on the AM Show, Mr Nyindam maintained that he is calm because his side did not engage in any wrongdoing in the disputed 2024 race.
“I am so fine because I am not troubled. We’ve not cheated in this particular election,” he said.
He, however, accused the government of wielding overwhelming influence over national processes, suggesting that state actors act without regard to fairness. “What I’ve realised is that there is a government that is so strong and whatever they want to do, they will want to do it.
They don’t care whether you are right or you are wrong,” he said, adding that he views himself as “just an individual” in the broader political machinery.
His comments come as the Parliamentary Service has formally notified the Electoral Commission of a vacancy in the Kpandai Constituency following a court order directing a re-run of the 2024 Parliamentary Elections.
The notification, dated December 4, 2025 and signed by Clerk to Parliament, Mr Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, fulfils the constitutional requirement to trigger the administrative processes for a fresh poll.
The letter was sent to the EC Chairperson, Mrs Jean Mensa, in line with Article 112(5) of the 1992 Constitution.
The upcoming re-run is expected to determine who represents the people of Kpandai in Parliament, after months of legal challenges and political tension.
