A High Court in Cape Coast on Wednesday January 6, sued the NDC Member of Parliament elect for Assin North, James Gyakye Quayson.

According to the Cape Coast High Court, the MP-elect at Assin North cannot hold himself as the MP-elect for the constituency.

“94. (2). A person shall not be qualified to be a member of parliament if he
(a). owes allegiance to a country other than Ghana.
