Actor and politician John Dumelo has arrived in the Assin North Constituency to join the National Democratic Congress (NDC) campaign for the upcoming by-election.

Voters in Assin North are set to go to polls on June 27, 2023, in a by-election to vote for a new member of parliament (MP).

The by-election has been necessitated by the Supreme Court's decision to nullify the election of James Gyakye Quayson as the MP.

In a ruling on May 17, a seven-member panel of the apex court ordered Parliament to expunge the name Quayson, whose victory in the 2020 elections was being contested over his dual citizenship.

The Electoral Commission subsequently fixed the by-election for Tuesday, June 27. While the NDC has maintained Quayson as its candidate, its main contender the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has selected Charles Opoku to contest.

Ahead of the by-election, there has been a rigorous campaign in Assin North with stalwarts of both parties joining in their numbers. Dumelo, who is seeking to become the MP for Ayawaso West Wuogon, is one of the prominent faces on the grounds.
