Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress, Mustafa Gbandi has disclosed that it took the intervention of the National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party for him to get an accommodation in the Assin North constituency.
According to him, all 64 hotels in the area has been booked by the New Patriotic Party making it difficult for them to find a place to lodge whilst they carry out their activities in the constituency.
Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, he explained that like they did in Kumawu they have announced their presence every where in the constituency.
"We are all in the constituency campaigning but the NPP has taken over everything including the hotels and even eating joints.
"When I was left stranded in the constituency, I had to fall on Nana B to give me a place to sleep because every where you go they tell you that the place has already been booked by the NPP."
He, however, noted that this will not prevent them from campaigning to secure the seat once again. They will do whatever it takes to win the seat for the National Democratic Congress.

Where from all these jokers? The Ndc should not think that the 2024 is home and dry. There’s a lot of work ahead considering the fact that the Npp is zeroing in Bawumia.
So the NDC is telling us that they cannot get a place to sleep from out of the 17,498 supporters who voted for the NDC in the 2020 elections? This tells us the disconnection between your party and the electorate in Assin North constituency.
so only one ndc person has a hotel accommodation, and what is the role of the MP eh he was never an MP. he has no hotel, no friend or family close to him has built one not even a joint so then what is his link with the people there. yet you say you will win though they are repeating what they did at kumawu again, massa then pls come back to accra as from your story you have already lost
It is strategical prudent to vote for Gyakye Quayeson for more development for the good people of Assin North. REASONS being that the bye Elections currently has undoubtedly brought more Developments from the Central government to the people as a result enormous sacrifice and perseverance of a prominent citizen of Assin North. The persistent of GYAKYE QUAYESON will go down in history as a man who loves and his perseverance has brought more development unto his constituency more than most MPS IN PARLIAMENT CURRENTLY. ASSIN NORTH people want more development. In addition, With the current court cases pending against Quayeson , there is a high possibility of another bye Elections if Qayeson wins 27th June Bye Elections. Quayeson winning the June 27th Elections will open more flood gates for more developments and goodies to the good people of Assin North. A vote for Quayeson will keep the flow of more goodies to the people. Your vote is for more development. A win/vote for Quayeson will bring more development to the people. For the wheels of more developments to continue and projects not be abandoned like KUMAWA BYE ELECTIONS, BECAUSE OF ANOTHER possible bye elections, Vote Quayeson Gyakye and keep the wheels of progress development from central government alive. A vote for NPP will derail the possible impact of ANOTHER Bye Elections will quench should Honourable Quayeson losses the pending case in court if he may not be a member of parliament AT THE TIME OF THE VERDICT. Politicians have made us to believe that it is during bye election period that they are able to fasten the pace of development. Let the good people rise to the occasion and vote for Honourable Gyakye Quayeson to create a room for another possible by elections and its consequential effect of another chain of development spreeee. keep hope alive and vote Quayeson. Assin North deserve more development through another possible bye election for development
It shows the NDC is not a serious party. What were you doing all this while? Instead of securing accommodation you were busy doing propaganda
NDC people are the same. Always empty talk.
