Tension has gripped Kpandai in the Northern Region as some youth of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) staged a demonstration to express their displeasure over the Supreme Court‘s decision to quash the Tamale High Court ruling that had earlier annulled the 2024 parliamentary election results.
The protesters, clad in party colours and holding placards, marched through some principal streets of the town, chanting slogans and demanding what they described as justice and fairness in the electoral process.
According to the demonstrators, the Supreme Court’s verdict has dashed their hopes of a legal redress following the High Court’s earlier judgment.

They argued that the initial ruling had given them confidence that their concerns about the election outcome were being addressed.
The group believes the latest decision undermines their efforts and have therefore called on the party’s national leadership to immediately seek a review of the Supreme Court’s judgment.
Some of the aggrieved youth, who spoke to our Northern Regional Correspondent, Baba Kamil, insisted that they will not relent until the matter is reconsidered.
They stressed that pursuing a fresh legal challenge is necessary to protect the integrity of the democratic process and to ensure that the voices of their supporters are not disregarded.
The protesters also urged party executives to act swiftly to prevent further unrest among the grassroots. The protesters say they remain hopeful that the party leadership will heed their call and take the necessary legal steps to challenge the ruling.
