Former President John Dramani Mahama has joined the ousted Member of Parliament for Assin North, James Gyakye Quayson, to campaign ahead of the by-election in the constituency.
Mahama claims that his support for Mr. Quayson was birthed from the desire to seek justice and progress for the residents of Assin North.
Addressing some electorates in the constituency on Saturday, June 17, 2023, monitored by 1Family Radio, the former president expressed confidence that voters will make the right decision.
“This NPP administration has gone to indecent lengths to rob the people of Assin North of parliamentary representation. The reason? To gain an advantage in what has essentially been a hung parliament,” he alleged.
‘’The James Quayson case will be remembered as one of the most outrageous manipulations of our legal system in the annals of Ghanaian democracy.’’
He said, “I strongly have confidence that the Assin North people will make up for the wrong done to them and James Quayson by electing him once more as Member of Parliament for the constituency.
“To the people of Assin North, I thank you for the unwavering love and support you’ve given James Quayson and the NDC, in spite of the last-minute vote-buying tactics being used by the opposition party,” he added.
