The Minority in Parliament has challenged the formal declaration of the Kpandai parliamentary seat as vacant, insisting that a letter issued by the Clerk to Parliament to the Electoral Commission (EC) must be withdrawn immediately.

Tensions escalated in the House on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, after the Minority protested Parliament’s notification to the EC that the Kpandai seat was vacant following a High Court ruling ordering a rerun of the constituency’s parliamentary election.
