The ruling by the Cape Coast court on Wednesday indicated that Member of Parliament-elect for the Assin North Constituency, James Gyakye Quayson cannot hold himself out as the MP-elect for the constituency.
This follows a petition filed by one Michael Ankomah that the MP-elect still held on to his Canadian citizenship at the time he filed to contest in the December polls.
