The Clerk to Parliament, Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, has formally notified the Electoral Commission (EC) of a vacancy in the Kpandai constituency, following a High Court order instructing a rerun of the parliamentary election.
In a letter dated December 4, 2025, and addressed to the EC Chairperson, Mrs. Jean Mensa, the Clerk said the vacancy was occasioned by an order from the High Court in Tamale on November 24, directing a fresh parliamentary election in Kpandai.
The notice was issued in line with Article 112(5) of the 1992 Constitution, which mandates the Clerk to inform the Electoral Commission when a parliamentary seat becomes vacant.
According to the letter, the communication was triggered by a court order served on the Clerk as the fourth respondent in the case, referenced as Suit Number: NR/TL/HC/E13/22/25.
“Accordingly, notice is hereby given,” the Clerk stated, signaling the formal commencement of steps required for the EC to arrange a new poll in the constituency.
The rerun will determine who occupies the Kpandai seat after the court annulled the previous results.
More details are expected from the Electoral Commission on the timetable and processes for the election.
