Former President John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) leadership stormed Parliament prior to the swearing-in ceremony for James Gyakye Quayson, the re-elected Member of Parliament for Assin North.
Among the preparations, Minority Members of Parliament were spotted clad in white attire, symbolising a special occasion.
However, the majority of Members of Parliament were still taking their places in the chamber ahead of the much-anticipated swearing-in ceremony.
The presence of the NDC flagbearer and the NDC leadership emphasised the importance of the swearing-in ceremony.
The swearing-in ceremony is an important step in reaffirming James Gyakye Quayson’s mandate as the elected Member of Parliament for Assin North.
Gyakye Quayson was re-elected in a by-election for the Assin North constituency, earning 57.56 percent of the vote.
