Former General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu is optimistic about the party's chances in winning the Assin North by-election.

John Boadu, touring some electoral areas at Assin North constituency Tuesday morning, expressed no doubts that the NPP will grab the parliamentary seat and was also certain the party will "break the 8".

" . . so far so very good . . . it is coming back again," he told the press and stressed that "whatever it is we will break the eight but we don't want any disturbances. So, so far that's okay".

He also commended the Electoral Commission for the conduct of the elections.

He noted that there have been no technical glitches with the machines the Electoral Commission is using neither are there complaints about the work of the officers.

"Nobody at the polling station has complained about not been able to vote because the machine couldn't recognize their thumbprints and all that. So far, we have received no complaints and I have told them (EC) to use this to prepare for 2024," he said.
