After a grueling three-year legal tussle, Hon. James Gyakye Quayson of Assin North has emerged triumphant, hailing his acquittal as not just a personal victory but a win for his constituents and the nation!
The court’s decision to clear him of charges like perjury and falsification of docs comes after a fierce legal saga that shook his political journey. Despite the challenges, Quayson sees his vindication as a sign of the legal system’s strength, which he believes has favored him in the end.
“It was bound to happen as the truth always comes out,” Quayson shared, expressing a mix of relief and vindication about the outcome.
Praising Judge Mary Ekue Yanzuh for her integrity, Quayson lauded her as a “decent human being,” even while hinting that the case against him was politically driven, with apparently doctored documents used for conviction.
“The courtroom drama was more about politics than justice,” Quayson claimed, firmly standing by his trust in the legal system despite facing apparent bias during the proceedings.
The legal brawl sparked from claims that he entered Parliament with dual citizenship, a controversy that raised doubts about the 2020 elections’ fairness, wherein he won despite initial disqualification.
For Quayson, the battle was about much more than retaining his seat; it was a fight for his reputation and political future. With the storm now behind him, Quayson is eager to refocus on his Assin North constituents, his faith in serving them unscathed.
Quayson’s win not only validates his constituents’ support post-disqualification but also poses a challenge for his critics, who may have to reassess their strategies while Quayson continues his work.
Overall, Quayson’s victory signifies not just a personal triumph but a political statement, a testament to his resilience in the face of adversity.
