The presidential candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed gratitude to Assin North voters for re-electing James Gyakye Quayson as their MP.
John Dramani Mahama thanked them for voting against the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and stated that their voting pattern reflected justice.
“A big thank you, Assin North, for supporting James Gyakye Quayson and rejecting the non-performing NPP in the by-election. Your vote for Justice and Development is truly inspiring. Let’s keep working together to build the Ghana we all dream of,” he said in a post.
The Electoral Commission on Tuesday declared James Gyakye Quayson to be the duly elected Member of Parliament for Assin North.
The electoral body pronounced Quayson the victor of the by-election with 17,245 votes, representing 57.56% of the valid votes cast, with New Patriotic Party candidate Charles Opoku finishing in second with 12,665 votes, representing 42%.
The NDC candidate held an early lead in the Assin North seat by-election when the Electoral Commission (EC) began collating results Tuesday evening.
The commission released the final results at 9:50 p.m.
