National Organiser of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B is optimistic his party will win the Assin North by-election.
The Assin North seat was declared vacant after the Supreme Court (SC) ruled that James Gyakye Quayson cannot hold himself as a Member of Parliament (MP). By a unanimous decision, the SC ordered Parliament to expunge his name from its records.
Subsequently, the Electoral Commission (EC) set Tuesday, June 27, 2023, as the date for a by-election to be held in the Assin North constituency.
Meanwhile, Gyakye Quayson has declared his intention to contest for the seat again.
Speaking in an interview on Kumasi-based Hello FM, Nana B said the ousted MP stands no chance of winning because "he is not popular".
He said the only reason why he won the Assin North seat at the time was because of the internal problems in the NPP.
"But now they have all been resolved . . . we are confident of winning," he said.

Ghana is an independent sovereign republic. What this means is that Ghanaians, and not foreigners, must be in charge of Ghana. Ghanaians must run almost every aspect of Ghana. Surely we could outsource some aspects of running the country, but ultimately me must run the country ourselves. We cannot do this without the requisite knowledge. We must have a list of intellectuals in every field who would run the affairs of the country. How should these intellectuals be treated? Should we give more respect to the billionaires in Ghana than these intellectuals? Perhaps the intellectuals who make Ghana tick must also be wealthy.
