James Gyakye Quayson took an early lead in the Assin North constituency by-election when the Electoral Commission (EC) started collating the results Tuesday evening.
As of 9 pm, with over 90 out of 99 polling station results officially collated by the the Electoral Commission, Quayson was leading with over 55 per cent of the valid votes cast.
There are indications that Quayson was retaining the Assin North parliamentary seat with about 5000 votes difference.
Functionaries from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) had earlier released some figures projecting the party’s candidate James Quayson was winning.
This threw NDC supporters in the constituency into celebratory mood with many pouring white powder on themselves in jubilation.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Director of IT, Eric Ntori speaking at the collation centre to Joy News said the NPP has lost it and that the party will do its home work.
“Things didn’t go well for us,” he said and added the party will go back to the drawing board and come back in 2024 and “snatch” the seat back for the NPP.
