The US Chapter of the NDC Zongo Caucus has congratulated Honorable James Gyakye Quayson on his parliamentary victory in the Assin North by-election "amid all the political vindictiveness of the party in Power".
It comes just a day after the reelected Member of Parliament was sworn into office on the floor of the house after winning the June 28th election by a huge margin.
In a statement signed by the coordinator, Alhaj Salam Zaiba, the caucus gave Quayson a thumbs up for his resilience and toughness to fight amid intimidation.
"Congratulations to Honourable Gyakye Quayson on your fight to retain the seat for the Great NDC; together we can advance our common agenda for 2024 with fresh impetus," he said.
"This victory comes amid all the political vindictiveness of the party in power, and you remained steadfast amid deliberate political vindictiveness, but you survived.
"Your resilience and tough-mindedness to fight for the party are most admirable. It is of strategic importance for both the people of Assin North and the NDC party to work on and build upon this victory for the 2024 contest."
Honourable Quayson was sworn into office as the reelected member of Parliament for Assin North after reclaiming the seat by 57.56 percent of the valid votes after polling 17,245 votes to beat NPP's Charles Opoku, who garnered 42.15% from 12,630 votes.
