The Minority in Parliament, led by Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has vehemently rejected the High Court\u2019s order for a re-run of the Kpandai parliamentary election, declaring their readiness to face any contempt charges\u2014even imprisonment at Nsawam.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Addressing the press on November 26, Afenyo-Markin accused the presiding judge, Justice Emmanuel Brew Plange, of misconduct in handling the petition that led to the annulment of Mathew Nyindam\u2019s election and the directive for a fresh poll within 30 days.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe High Court issued an order directing a full re-run of the entire Kpandai parliamentary election, covering all 152 polling stations. As if this judge is unaware of the Supreme Court\u2019s decision in the 2012 presidential petition,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He further alleged that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) appeared to know the ruling ahead of time, claiming that the Northern Regional Minister and other NDC supporters were in court anticipating the verdict.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Afenyo-Markin also questioned the circumstances surrounding the delivery of the judgment, noting that the judge initially indicated the ruling would be ready on Friday, only for Parliament and Nyindam to be served with the court order within 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Describing the situation as a threat to Ghana\u2019s democracy, he criticised what he called \u201ckangaroo judicial behaviour,\u201d warning that such conduct could endanger the nation\u2019s peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not mince words. They can conspire to call us for so-called contempt. We\u2019re not afraid. We\u2019re ready to be in Nsawam. The world will see their disgraceful conduct,\u201d he insisted.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Afenyo-Markin emphasised that the Minority would not remain silent in the face of what they view as judicial overreach.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can a judge, who calls himself a judge, misconduct himself in such a manner and expect the country to be quiet?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n
