NDC and NPP battle for Assin North seat as EC sets June 27 for the by-election

The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the governing New Patriotic Party(NPP) will on June 27, 2023 battle for the Assin North parliamentary seat.

The Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) has settled on Tuesday, June 27, 2023, as the day to hold a  by-election in the Assin North Constituency, barely a month after the Kumawu by-elections.

Even before the EC announced the date, the NPP and NDC were in the media claiming to have won the seat in advance, with top officials of either side pitching camp in the Central Regional town of Assin Fosu.

The EC has, however explained that holding a by-election in the Constituency has become necessary in fulfillment of law due to the Supreme Court’s declaration that the election of James Gyakye Quayson on December 7, 2020, as Member of Parliament MP for the Constituency is null and void and of no effect.

In the press release signed by the Chairperson of the EC, Jean Mensa, the commission invited all persons interested in the seat to pick up nomination forms, fill them appropriately and submit them as set out in the press release.

“Accordingly, the Commission will receive Nominations from prospective Candidates for the Election of a Member of Parliament for the said Constituency. The Nominations will be received at the Assin North District Office of the Commission from Monday, the 12th of June, 2023 to Wednesday, the 14th of June, 2023, between the hours of 9:00 am – 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm on each day,” the statement stated.

Political parties, particularly the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), have already hit the ground running in preparation for the upcoming by-election.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed.
