The Electoral Commission has fixed the Assin North parliamentary by-election for Tuesday, June 27, 2023.

It follows the Supreme Court’s ruling on Wednesday, May 17, 2023, to the effect that the election of James Gyakye Quayson as Member of Parliament for the Assin North Constituency in 2020, was “unconstitutional, null and void and of no legal effect.”

This has made the seat of the constituency in Parliament vacant, and Parliament has subsequently communicated that vacancy to the Electoral Commission.

In accordance with Article 112 (5) of the 1992 Constitution, as amended, the Electoral Commission has decided to hold a By-Election in the Assin North Constituency on Tuesday, June 27, 2023.
