The parliamentary candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) James Gyakye Quayson the MP-elect after securing a resounding victory by amassing a significant margin of votes at 17,245 votes representing 57.56% of the valid votes sent an appreciation message to the people of Assin saying …..
“The people of Assin North have spoken. They have said without equivocation that they want me to represent them in the 8th Parliament. They have told us to stop the politics and focus on solving their problems. This is a victory, not just for me and the NDC but also for justice.”
I am deeply humbled by the confidence the people have expressed in what I stand for and what I have done. I am also fully aware of the reciprocal responsibilities that this massive show of confidence imposes on me. My solemn pledge is to work as hard as I can for the people who have made tonight possible.
I sought this position because of my deep commitment to the Assin North Development agenda. I remain determined to mobilize resources from within and without to prosecute this agenda with all my energy no matter the cost.
I also want to express my profound gratitude to the many people who are responsible for the resounding victory we have chalked tonight and who share in the honor that has been bestowed on me.
First, I thank my family who have stood by me in the best of times and the worst of times.
I want to especially thank the flag-bearer of the great NDC and incoming President of the Republic of Ghana, H.E John Dramani Mahama for his encouragement and invaluable support.
I thank my NDC family; the national executive, the council of elders, the parliamentary caucus, our central regional executives and Assin North constituency executives, branch executives, polling agents, and all other members and officers of the party who have stood with me through thick and thin.
I am grateful to my campaign team who have worked assiduously with limited resources.
I am grateful to all others who have reached out to me to express support, empathy, and encouragement.
Finally, I thank the good people of Assin North for coming out to deliver the clearest message about the direction that they want Assin North and the country to take. Let us come together to build a better Ghana for our posterity.
Thank you., and God Bless our Homeland Ghana.
