Mustapha Gbande, the Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has reaffirmed the party's commitment to reclaiming the Nsawam-Adoagyiri parliamentary seat currently held by the Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh. Gbande contended that the seat was unfairly won by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 general elections.
Speaking on UTV on Friday, December 12, 2025, Gbande linked his comments to the ongoing developments surrounding the Kpandai parliamentary rerun. He emphasized that the NDC is determined to recover all constituencies it believes were “stolen” through irregularities and unfair electoral practices.
"The NDC will not relent. We will continue to challenge any election results in constituencies we believe were compromised," Gbande stated, naming Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Suhum, and Tolon as key constituencies the party aims to reclaim.
He further criticized the current Minority, accusing them of inconsistency. "The Minority is confused. They bring placards to Parliament protesting the situation in Kpandai, but when you ask them for specifics, they only talk about President Mahama’s third term," Gbande added.
Gbande's comments come in the wake of a High Court ruling that annulled the 2024 election results for the Kpandai seat, following an NDC petition citing electoral irregularities. The court ordered a rerun, and Parliament subsequently declared the seat vacant. The Electoral Commission (EC) has set the rerun for Tuesday, December 30, 2025.
The Minority Caucus, however, has strongly rejected both the court's ruling and Parliament’s decision, describing the rerun as unconstitutional and a threat to the country’s democratic order.
As the NDC seeks to challenge the outcomes of the 2024 elections, attention remains focused on the Kpandai seat, with the party now turning its focus to Annoh-Dompreh’s seat in Nsawam-Adoagyiri, as well as Suhum and Tolon.
