General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Franklin Fifi Kwetey has saluted the people of Assin North Constituency in the Central Region, asking the rest of the country to take a cue from the victory recorded in Tuesday’s by-elections.
“This is a signal that any wise people will learn from, any intelligent people will learn from, any humble people will learn from,” he said.
He was reacting on 3FM on Tuesday night after provisional results from the day’s by-election in Assin North put the NDC, represented by James Gyakye Quayson, ahead of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), represented by Charles Opoku and Bernice Enyonam Sefenu respectively.
The former Ketu South Member of Parliament (MP) said the NPP have been punished of the injustice meted out not only to the people of Assin North in the Central Region but Ghanaians as a whole.
“What it is [Assin North constituents] have indicated is something the country as a whole must pay attention to,” he told Johnnie Hughes.
“They have shown that they are the people who believe that justice must be done. They are people who believe you cannot impoverish a nation, you cannot render a people to become so full of suffering, dehumanising, reduce their dignity and then use a period of about a month to try hard to deceive them that you care.
“So what it is they have signalled is signal to the rest of the country that this type of governance, this type of of leadership is a leadership that must absolutely be thrown into dustbin of history, must be punished, must be humiliated and must be exposed.
“And I hope to God that the 30 million plus of Ghanaians are paying heed.”
The officials results from Tuesday’s by-elections sees Mr Gyakye Quayson winning by over 4,000 votes.
He polled a total of 17,245 votes, representing 57.56 percent, as against NPP Candidate’s 12,630, representing 42.15 percent. LPG’s Candidate had 87 votes, representing 0.29 percent.
