The Member of Parliament-elect for Assin North James Gyakye Quayson is expected to be sworn in today Tuesday July 4 in Parliament after winning the Assin North by-election.
However, there has been some controversy surrounding the swearing-in as the Majority side in Parliament have failed to show up making the swearing in uncertain.
The Minority in parliament have all its members present.
The legitimacy of the process is questioned as the nation awaits the majority’s return, adding suspense to this political moment.
During the by-election on TuesdayJune 27, Mr Gyakye Quayson beat Charles Opoku of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Bernice Enyonam Sefenu of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) to reclaim the seat.
His votes margin as compared to the 2020 results is over 1,300. In that election, Mr Gyakye Quayson polled 17,498 votes to beat NPP’s Abena Durowaa Mensah, who polled 14,193.
Mr Gyakye Quayson, who was declared invalidly elected in 2020 by a Supreme Court judgement, will return to take his seat in Parliament.
