The Electoral
Commission (EC) has set Tuesday, June 27, 2023, to organize a by-election in
Assin North following the removal of the former Member of Parliament, James
Gyakye Quayson by a Supreme Court ruling.
The court
directed Parliament to expunge his name from its records as he was a Canadian
citizen when he contested and won the seat in 2020.
As a result, the
Assin North seat was declared vacant by Parliament on Tuesday, May 30.
In compliance
with Article 112 (5) of the Constitution, as amended, the Electoral Commission
issued a statement on Wednesday, May 31, confirming the date of the
by-election.
Interested
individuals who wish to contest for the seat must submit their nomination forms
at the Assin North District Office of the Commission between Monday, June 12,
2023, and Wednesday, June 14, 2023.

Aspiring
candidates are required to pay a filing fee of GH¢10,000 to complete their
nomination process.
The by-election
aims to fill the vacancy in the Assin North Constituency and provide the
constituency with a new parliamentary representative.
