Former President John Dramani Mahama has joined the ousted lawmaker, James Gyakye Quayson, today at Assin North Constituency to lend his support to Mr Quayson's campaign leading up to the upcoming by-election.

Mahama expressed that his decision to support Gyakye Quayson stems from his commitment to pursuing justice and fostering development for the residents of the Assin North Constituency.

“This NPP administration has gone to indecent lengths to rob the people of Assin North of parliamentary representation. The reason? To gain an advantage in what has essentially been a hung Parliament.

“The James Quayson case will go down in the history of Ghanaian democracy as one of the most brazen manipulation of our judicial system ever.

“I firmly believe and trust the people of Assin North to right the wrong done to them and James Quayson by electing him once again as Member of Parliament for the constituency.

‘To the people of Assin North, I thank you for the continuous love and support you’ve shown James Quayson and the NDC, despite the last minute vote buying gimmicks being employed by the NPP,” he said.

The Electoral Commission has slated June 27, 2023, for a by-election to be held in the Assin North Constituency.
