The Assin North bye-election has been occasioned by the eviction of the NDC MP, James Gyakye Quayson, following a court application over his allegiance to Canada at the time of filing to contest the election.

The NDC has put up Mr Quayson again to contest the seat and he is being challenged by the NPP’s Charles Opoku in a two-horse race, with the Liberal Party of Ghana also putting up Bernice Enyonam Sefenu.
