Seek judicial review of Supreme Court decision on Kpandai - NDC youth to party leadership

The Youth Wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Kpandai Constituency, Northern Region, has urged the party leadership to seek a judicial review of the Supreme Court's decision to quash an earlier ruling by the High Court, Tamale.

The High Court in Tamale had ordered a rerun of the Kpandai Constituency parliamentary election, but the Supreme Court overturned the decision.

The youth made the call during a protest march  through the main street of Kpandai, chanting “No Nsala, no NDC in Kpandai”, as they pressed their demand for decisive action from the party’s national leadership.

The protesters said the NDC, as the governing party, must take a firm stance and reject the recent Supreme Court ruling unless it resulted in a rerun of the parliamentary election in the constituency.

They called on the party leadership to apply for a review of the judgment and to enforce discipline among constituency executives, whom they accused of failing to properly represent the interests of party members.

Addressing the media after the protest march yesterday, leaders of the youth group called on the party’s national executive and legal directorate to file for a judicial review of the judgment once the full reasoning of the Supreme Court was made public on February 6, 2026.

In a press statement, the group said they had a strong legal case at the Tamale High Court.

According to them, the High Court judgment in favour of the NDC was based on “sound legal reasoning”, including alleged defective gazette notifications, inconsistencies in publication dates, and what they described as the failure of the Electoral Commission (EC) to discharge its constitutional duty of neutrality.

“We remain committed to peace, legality and constitutionalism. But peace must never be confused with silence in the face of injustice. Kpandai deserves justice,” the group declared.
