Court orders rerun of NPP Walewale parliamentary primary

The court essentially held that the election was marked with irregularities, impersonation, and, in some instances, over voting

The Tamale High Court, presided over by Justice Richard Kogjawah, has annuled the New Patriotic Patriotic (NPP) Walewale parliamentary primary results, ordering a rerun of the same in the constituency.

The court delivered it decision on Monday, 2 September 2024. The court essentially held that the election was marked with irregularities, impersonation, and, in some instances, over voting.

In January 2024, Dr Kabiru Mahama, a special advisor to the vice-president, narrowly defeated Hajia Lariba in a tightly contested primary. The election saw Dr Kabiru winning with 345 votes against Hajia Lariba’s 338 votes.

Unsatisfied with the outcome, the incumbent member of Parliament (MP) on 27 January 2024 headed to court to challenge the results, citing electoral irregularities and malpractice.
