Assin North: NDC To Get Sympathy Votes If It Maintains James Quayson For By-election
The renowned pollster, Ben Ephson, has said that the yet-to-be conducted by-election in the Assin North constituency may swing in favour of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) on the basis that the party maintains James Gyakye Quayson as parliamentary candidate.
He maintains that the embattled Assin North Member of Parliament will draw sympathy votes if he decides to stand again.
Speaking to Beatrice Adu on The Big Bulletin on Tuesday (26 April), Ephson said: “I think that if the NDC wants to have a chance of possibly retaining Assin North, they have no choice but to go with Gyakye Quayson who may get a few sympathy votes from swing voters in the constituency. If the NDC decides to pick a new candidate, it is going to be difficult for them to maintain the seat.”
