Polls have opened at various voting centres in Tuesday’s by-election in the Assin North Constituency.
A total of 41,000 registered voters are expected to cast their ballots in 99 polling stations in today’s by-election.
The security presence in the constituency is very heavy as eight hundred Police officers have been deployed to ensure a peaceful by-election.
The election is necessitated by the Supreme Court’s ruling against the former MP, Mr James Gyekye Quayson, for holding a Canadian citizenship aside that of Ghana.
The Assin North constituency over the past few weeks has seen a lot of political activities, with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) formally ended their campaigns with rallies on Sunday, June 25, 2023, ahead of the election.
The NDC has retained Gyakye Quayson as its candidate though he is facing criminal charges over his 2020 Candidature.
The NPP and the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) have Mr Charles Opoku and Catherine Enyonam as their respective candidates.
