Assin North MP-elect James Gyakye Quayson believes his victory is for the people of Assin North and Ghana.
According to him, the government treated him unfairly.
He said that the government’s New Patriotic Party (NPP) utilised its power to intimidate him.
However, the reelected MP says his victory yesterday has proven that he was the one the constituents wanted.
Mr. Quayson polled 17,245 votes representing 57.56 percent of the total votes cast to beat Charles Opoku of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), and Bernice Enyonam Sefenu of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG).
Charles Opoku polled 12,630 votes representing 42.15 percent of the total votes cast while the LPG’s Bernice Enyonam Sefenu polled a paltry 87 votes (0.29%).
Speaking to journalists after he was declared the winner, Mr. Quayson said, “This is a victory not just for myself, it’s for the people of Assin North and in fact for the people of Ghana. Hopefully, one day we will pursue a good direction of justice. Politics is not about sharing of money to citizens to get votes, it’s about development, democracy is about development”.
“We will make sure that people who are represented get a fair share of the national cake and how to develop their communities,” Mr. Quayson added.
He said, “I believe in the rule of law and I do things according to the rule of law. I also had the support of my constituents and my NDC fraternity and people from NPP who were supporting me. I was treated unfairly, they now know the results, and we are going to work with it,” the MP-elect stated.
