Alban S.K. Bagbin, Speaker of Parliament, has revealed this morning Thursday, June 29, 2023.
Sittings in Parliament will be resumed today June 29, following the sudden end of proceedings which was experienced on Tuesday due to the lack of quorum required for a parliamentary business to continue, as great numbers of Members of Parliament (MPs) on both the Majority and Minority sides went to Assin North Constituency to join the political campaign and monitoring of the by-election in the area.
Meanwhile, James Gyakye Quayson will be going to court this morning for a criminal case against him and after that, he is expected in Parliament for his swearing-in.
17, 245 electorates voted for Mr. Quayson representing 57.56 percent cast, while 12,630 electorates voted for Charles Opoku of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) representing 42.15 percent of votes cast.
Bernice Sefenu, a third contestant, of the Liberal Party of Ghana, managed 87 votes, representing 0.29 percent of votes cast.
After declaring Mr. Quayson a winner by the Electoral Commission, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo extended his congratulatory message to Mr. Quayson and the other candidates.
However, the NDC General Secretary, Fifi Kwetey, described Mr. Quayson’s victory as a judgment on the governance of the NPP and added that is an indication that Ghanaians would vote the NPP out in 2024.
