The Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Richard Ahiagbah says the NPP will do all it can to win the Assin North seat in the 2024 general elections.
This was after the NPP lost the by-election on Tuesday, June 27.
In a tweet after the party’s defeat, he said “Assin North is a seat the NPP had before the 2020 general elections. We will give every effort to take it back in 2024.”

During the by-election, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate James Gyakye Quayson beat the NPP’s Charles Opoku and Bernice Enyonam Sefenu of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) to reclaim the seat.
His votes margin as compared to the 2020 results is over 1,300. In that election, Mr Gyakye Quayson polled 17,498 votes to beat NPP’s Abena Durowaa Mensah, who polled 14,193.
Mr Gyakye Quayson, who was declared invalidly elected in 2020 by a Supreme Court judgement, will return to take his seat in Parliament.
