The Member of Parliament for South Dayi, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, has stated that the Supreme Court’s decision on the Kpandai parliamentary election does not reinstate Matthew Nyindam as a Member of Parliament.

Speaking on the ruling on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, on JoyNews, he described the decision as ‘very straightforward,’ stressing that the apex court’s order suspending the Electoral Commission’s planned rerun does not alter Nyindam’s current legal status.

Kpandai MP speaks on High Court's election rerun decision

According to Dafeamekpor, who is also the Majority Chief Whip, Nyindam remains without a seat in Parliament, explaining that the court’s decision only affects the rerun notice issued by the Electoral Commission and does not amount to a reversal of earlier judicial decisions.

“It is a very straightforward ruling, and there is nothing wrong with this ruling. The Supreme Court is merely saying that upon the final determination of the certiorari application before it, the rerun notice given by Electoral Commission in respect of Kpandai parliamentary elections being suspended, it does not affect Nyindam's position regarding his return to the House.

“He is not an MP. Supreme Court has not annulled or overturned the decision of the High Court,” he said.
