Assin North By-election; NDC Sharing Goodies To Famers
Some officials of the largest oppositon National Democratic Congress (NDC) have been caught in a video sharing fertilizers, spraying machines, wellington boots among other things ahead of the June 27 by-election in the Assin North constituency.
The NDC is allegedly in the thick of affairs at Kanokrom, Afenase, Obiri Kweku, Camp C, Aworbe, Wawase and Atentan electoral areas sharing fertilizers, spraying machines, wellington boots, cash and even paying electricity bills of households according sources in the constituency.
The EC on May 31, 2023 announced Tuesday, June 27, 2023, as the date for the Assin North Constituency by-election in the Central Region after it was notified by Parliament that the seat was vacant following the Supreme Court’s ruling that declared the election of the former MP, James Gyakye Quayson, unconstitutional.
The court held that his election was null and void because at the time he filed to contest, he owed allegiance to another country contrary to the laws of Ghana.
Election
Per the balloting, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, Charles Opoku would be the number one on the ballot paper, with the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) candidate, Bernice Enyonam Sefenu occupying the second position on the ballot and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, James Gyakye Quayson picking the third spot on the ballot paper.
