James Gyakye Quayson, the newly elected MP for the Assin North district, has received congratulations from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for winning the by-election.
According to a statement from the NPP’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, “The Party extends its heartiest congratulations to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the Member of Parliament-elect for the Assin North Constituency on their electoral victory.”
In addition, it stated, “While we had diligently worked towards reclaiming the Assin North parliamentary seat, we respect the decision and judgment of the people of the Assin North Constituency.”
The NDC’s victory in the by-election, in the party’s opinion, strengthens Ghana’s democratic credentials.
“Indeed, the recent two by-elections have demonstrated the strength of the country’s democracy with outcomes favouring different political parties. This is a testament to Ghana’s much touted accolade as a bastion.”
The party also wanted to express its sincere appreciation to everyone who helped with the party’s planning for the Assin North by-election, which was held on Tuesday, June 27, 2023.
