National Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party(NPP), Henry Nana Boakye has cautioned former Member of Parliament for Assin North constituency, James Gyekye Quayson to take a cue from the former Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, the late Mr. Adamu Dramani Sakande and stay away from the Assin North By-election.
According to him, he should not be swayed by his party into thinking that he was going to win the Assin North seat again.
In July 2012, Ghanaians woke up to the shocking news that Mr. Adamu Dramani Sakande, NPP MP for Bawku Central, had been convicted and sentenced to jail for two years for falsely declaring under oath he had renounced his UK Citizenship.
The decision was celebrated by the NDC as unprecedented and a triumph of the rule of law.
"Today, the same NDC, whose Attorney General prosecuted Adamu Sakande, is waging an emotional campaign in Assin North because the court have applied the law to remove Gyakye Quayson as MP," he said.
He further added that Mr. Quayson had the opportunity to make his case at the High Court through the Supreme Court, and not for once did he convince any of the judges he was deserving of staying in parliament.
His criminal trial is underway, and he still has every opportunity to defend himself.
