The Assin North National Democratic Congress (NDC) Constituency Chairman, Felix Benefoh, has revealed that James Gyakye Quayson will contest unopposed in the party’s internal process to elect a parliamentary candidate for the upcoming June 27 by-election.
Speaking to Kwabena Agyapong on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm, he said it had been a unanimous decision at all levels of the party that Mr. Quayson should go unopposed.
Mr Benefoh stated that the party was working hard to reach every nook and cranny of the constituency and to win a by-election if one were held.
He was optimistic the candidate would win the by-election by a landslide and break his own record, which he garnered in the 2020 parliamentary election.
”As a party, we have agreed that Quayson will run unopposed. He had been through a lot of agony. He is our only hope, and he will easily win the by-election. He is our nominee, and he will run unopposed. We have all agreed as a party that no one should run for office. We believe that after the election, he will be elected as the MP for Assin North.”
”He will win easily, and his victory will surpass that of 2020.” “We are aware that the seat is an NDC seat, but we are not complacent. We understand the politics in this area, and we will work tirelessly to keep the seat.”
He said Mr. Quayson has served his people well, and because of that, they will reward him come June 27, 2023.
”As a party, we will stand by the candidate, support him, and ensure that he wins the by-election,” he stated emphatically.
