His Lordship Justice Emmanuel Bart-Plange Brew of Tamale High Court ordered a complete rerun of the Kpandai parliamentary election over disputes of some 41 polling stations.

But the Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin at a press briefing on Wednesday to register their opposition to the ruling described the judgement as flawed, dangerous, and a threat to justice and constitutionalism.

It therefore served notice of their readiness to challenge the judgment delivered by Justice Bart-Plange Brew.

The Minority Leader condemned the judgment, asserting, “This judgment is not merely flawed; it is dangerous. It does not advance justice; it obstructs it. It does not uphold constitutionalism; it undermines it. It does not protect the people; it punishes them without cause.”

While acknowledging Justice Bart-Plange Brew as a learned jurist, Afenyo-Markin emphasized that respect for the judiciary does not mean silence in the face of judicial errors. “Respect for judicial office demands that we speak, challenge, and insist on fidelity to the Constitution and the rule of law,” he declared.

The Minority in a spirit of solidarity reaffirmed its support for Mathew Nyindam, and assured the constituents of Kpandai that Mr. Nyindam would continue to serve in parliament until the appellate process is fully exhausted, including possible recourse to the Supreme Court.
