Member of Parliament for Assin North in the Central Region, James Gyakye Quayson, has reflected on the challenges he has faced in his journey to serve his constituents.

Mr Quayson encountered legal obstacles, including an injunction questioning his eligibility to hold office due to alleged dual citizenship with Canada and Ghana.

On May 17, 2023, the Supreme Court deemed his election unconstitutional, ultimately declaring the Assin North seat vacant. This decision, reached unanimously by a seven-member panel, instructed Parliament to remove Quayson’s name as MP.

Undeterred, Mr Quayson remained resolute and contested the by-election, successfully reclaiming his seat despite the setbacks.

Speaking with Onua News, Mr Quayson expressed that he endured the hardships out of a deep commitment to his people and a genuine desire to serve.

He was at the airport to join jubilant National Democratic Congress MPs, chiefs, and supporters in welcoming Jomoro MP, Dorcas Affo-Toffey, who was returning from the United States after receiving medical treatment following a serious accident in August.

“I came back to help build the country. Take my case for instance, if not for the love I have for Assin North like per what I went through I would have withdrawn”.

“But I could not betray the people because of the love I have for them and the party,” he stressed.

He pledged to continue serving his people yet prayed Ghanaians would vote massively for the NDC in the upcoming December 7 general elections to enable the party to form the next government to reset the country.
