The Acting Director of Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Tanko Rashid-Computer, has described the Tamale High Court’s decision ordering a rerun of the Kpandai parliamentary election as “justice served.”
His reaction follows the court’s ruling directing the Electoral Commission to conduct a fresh parliamentary poll in the constituency within 30 days.
The decision came after a legal challenge to the 2024 election results.
Speaking shortly after the news broke, Rashid-Computer, who also serves as CEO of the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC), said the NDC fully welcomes the ruling. He added that the party is “ready for the bye election” and confident of securing victory when voters return to the polls.
The rerun order follows a petition by former MP and NDC candidate, Daniel Nsala Wakpal, who alleged widespread irregularities during the December 7 parliamentary election in Kpandai.
