The Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Haruna Mohammed, has warned that an unfavourable ruling by the Supreme Court in the Kpandai parliamentary dispute would signal a breakdown in the rule of law in Ghana.
His comments come amid heightened political tension ahead of the Supreme Court’s hearing on the Kpandai parliamentary case, which follows a High Court judgment that annulled the 2024 election results in the constituency.
Speaking in an interview on Joy FM’s Top Story on Monday, December 15, Mr Mohammed responded to a question on whether the NPP would participate in a parliamentary rerun in the Kpandai Constituency should the court hearing not go in the party’s favour.
“If the hearing does not go in our favour, then it means the laws of Ghana have stopped working,” he said.
He added that in such circumstances, the party would inform the Ghanaian public and take steps to reclaim the seat.
“In that particular situation, we will inform the good people of Ghana and proceed to Kpandai to take back our seat, and we will wait to see what happens,” Mr Mohammed stated.
The Supreme Court’s decision is expected to determine the next course of action, including whether the Electoral Commission’s planned rerun of the election will proceed.
