Member of Parliament for Assin North, James Gyakye Quayson, remains hopeful that his constituents will renew his mandate in the upcoming 2024 election.

Mr Quayson, who once held dual citizenship with Canada and Ghana, faced a court case in 2020 that challenged his eligibility to hold office. After his seat was declared vacant, he contested and won a by-election to regain his position as MP.

Despite the legal challenges, Quayson has focused on numerous developmental projects to give back to the people of Assin North.

Following a visit from NDC running mate Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang to the constituency as part of her Central Region tour, Mr Quayson emphasized his commitment to development and justice.

“I will do everything in my capacity as a member of parliament to bring development to Assin North because that’s what they voted for me for in the last year. Since you all know my members well, membership of Parliament has been legitimised," he stated.

Mr Quayson highlighted a recent project, the reconstruction of the Tweanka Bridge leading to Assin Breko, noting the community's excitement and support.

“I’m not going to give up. I’m going to pull every resource at my own capacity and availability to make sure this project is done.”

Confident in his re-election prospects, Quayson added, “I see Assin North is going to renew my mandate because they appreciate the work I’m doing and I also appreciate the dignity and the respect and being resilient and fighting for them. They know that I’ll never leave them behind.”
