Voting ended tonight as three political parties – New Patriotic Party (NPP), National Democratic Congress (NDC) and Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) – presented candidates to battle it out for the Assin North Parliamentary seat.
The seat became vacant after the Supreme Court on Wednesday, May 17, unanimously declared unconstitutional the election of James Gyakye Quayson as the MP for the area.
The highly anticipated by-election was however necessitated after Parliament wrote to the Electoral Commission declaring the seat vacant.
The two major political parties; NPP and NDC have since thronged the constituency to sway voters to their side in order to win the seat and bolster their numbers in the legislature.
