Speaking in interview with TV3’s Roland Walker, Sammy Gyamfi said “The NDC is not afraid of any by-election because we know that the people of Assin North with their eyes open assessed the various candidates who stood for the position of MP during the 2020 elections and voted for Honourable Gyekye Quayson because they believed in him.”
