NPP’s Chief Scribe, John Boadu is confident his party will recapture the Assin North constituency seat if there is a by-election.
He told NEAT FM’s morning show, Ghana Montie, that the contest in the constituency will be a ‘cool chop’ for the ‘Elephant party’ in their quest to have a solid majority in parliament.
“Oh, we will win that seat easily,” he told host Kwesi Aboagye.
His comment follows the Supreme Court's ruling on James Gyakye Quayson’s eligibility as Member of Parliament for Assin North.
A seven-member Supreme Court panel by a majority decision ruled in favour of an application to bar James Gyakye Quayson from holding himself as a legislative representative of Assin North and also from conducting parliamentary business.
The ruling, however, suggested an impending by-election in the constituency if James Gyakye Quayson's incessant legal battle hit the rock.
Mr Quayson sounded optimistic in a statement to his consistency – he described the Apex Court ruling as a “callous attempt by the government to deny the people of Assin North of their representation.”
He insisted, “I have reasons to fight on in their interest,”
“I would have given up this fight by now if I were fighting on my own volition or for my gratification. I came down here to take up this mantle upon your numerous calls and at this point, I live not for myself but your interest.”
“Especially the teeming Youth in the constituency who have proven to me that, you have what it takes to make Assin North great and strong given the needed support and direction,” James Gyakye Quayson said in his statement.

John Boadu paaaaa. What extra ordinary work have you done ad general secretary of the NPP to think that Assin north will be cool chop for the NPP. When party enthusiasm is at an all time low and instead of you going to the grassroots and addressing the concerns of party faithful you sit in Accra and talk by heart. 'Assin north will be cool chop', John Boadu, do you have a biological child who is 18 years old and above? If no, who's 18 year old son or daughter are you relying on for your 'Assin north cool chop ' to happen. If you think the politics of the Nkrumah, Busia and Limann's era is still at play, you will be surprised. Am NPP, but the current leadership of the party both in government and party level is doing a great deal of disservice to the NPP. If Kufuor and his appointees including party executives were behaving like we are currently seeing, you think Akuffo Addo would have come to meet a solid party to ride on to power?
