Speaking on Eyewitness News, the Director of Communications of the NPP maintained, “Assin North is an interesting seat, it’s alternating back to the NPP, our chances are very bright.

He said the NPP will elect a parliamentary candidate for the by-election on June 7.

We will do the vetting in the cause of the week and elections will be held on June 7 to select the parliamentary candidate for Assin North,” Mr

Parliament, through its Clerk, declared the Assin North Parliamentary seat vacant on May 30, following the Supreme Court’s ruling on the eligibility of James Gyakye Quayson in occupying the Assin North seat.

The Supreme Court, by a unanimous decision on May 17, ordered Ghana’s Parliament to expunge the name of James Gyakye Quayson from its records as the Member of Parliament for the Assin North constituency.
