The Parliamentary Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Assin North by-election, James Gyakye Quayson, is receiving tonnes of congratulatory messages from supporters as he claims to have won Tuesday’s polls.
Provisional results put him ahead of New Patriotic Party’s Charles Opoku and Liberal Party of Ghana’s Bernice Enyonam Sefenu.
The Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC) is, however, yet to declare official results of the by-election.
But the 2020 Parliamentary Candidate took to his official Facebook page to thank the people of Assin North Constituency for giving him another chance.
Provisional results trickling in from the Assin North constituency show the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) candidate, James Gyakye Quayson, in a commanding lead in the by-election.
He is likely to be declared the winner after the Electoral Commission completes the necessary processes.
Mr. Quayson went into the race with two others: Charles Opoku of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Bernice Enyonam Sefenu of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG).
Provisional results from the 99 polling stations in Assin North show Mr. Quayson securing 57.4% of the votes (17,205) while the NPP’s Charles Opoku followed with 11,389 votes (42%).
