Kpandai is counter claimed by the Gonjas and Nawuris both of the Guan ethnic extraction. The contention led to several skirmishes in the early 1990s which the Nawuri's defeated the Gonja's.
Kpandai is inhabited by different groups including, the Nawuris, the Komkombas, the Bassares and the Kotokolis. There are also other smaller groups including Akan trading settlers. Kpandai is both in the Northern Volta and the Southern tip of the Northern region. The inhabitants are predominantly farmers who engage in farming yam and grains such as corn. Most of the yams are shipped to the capital Accra and further on abroad. The town has produced many university graduates over the years many of who have gone on to do well. Most of these would have had their Secondary education in Salaga, and the many secondary schools in Tamale. Kpandai is known for its many mangoe trees and a little plantation of Coconut.
