Speaking on December 11, 2025, Bawumia highlighted that NPP candidate Matthew Nyindam currently has pending appeals in both the High Court and the Supreme Court, which have yet to be resolved.
He described the EC’s decision as an “indecent haste” that undermines established democratic procedures.
“In similar electoral disputes in other constituencies, the EC has waited for all judicial matters to conclude before taking action. It is unclear why Kpandai is being treated differently,” Bawumia said.
He warned that bypassing legal processes could erode public confidence in Ghana’s electoral system and threaten the stability of democratic institutions.
Bawumia’s comments follow rising tensions over the EC’s handling of contested elections, with calls for transparency and adherence to judicial outcomes.
