Prior to the Assin North by-election, which is scheduled for Tuesday, June 27, 2023, Sammy Gyamfi, the national communications officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government of desperately attempting to buy votes.
He claims that the government is using state-owned fertilizers and knapsack sprayers to purchase Assin North votes.
In a message to Pulse Ghana, he said the consignment is currently en route to Ningo, Gangan, Ayittey, and other NDC strongholds in the constituency.
He stated that the team is led by NPP National Chairman, Stephen Ntim, General Secretary, Justin Kodua, and other bigwigs of the ruling party.
Gyamfi provided evidence of how taxpayer’s monies are being abused for election purposes by the failed Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government.
The Supreme Court by unanimous decision ordered Parliament to expunge the name of James Gyakye Quayson as a Member of Parliament.
The Court on, Wednesday, May 17, 2023, declared as unconstitutional the election of Gyakye Quayson as MP for Assin North saying he held dual citizenship as at the time he filed to contest the 2020 elections.
A resident of Assin Bereku in the Central region, Michael Ankomah Nimfa dragged Quayson to the court to restrain him from holding himself as MP after a Cape Coast High Court in July 2021 annulled his election as Assin North MP.
The Electoral Commission has since scheduled the by-election for Tuesday, June 27, 2023.
