An alleged leaked audio recording has surfaced, shedding light on a covert scheme orchestrated by the Assin North New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate, Charles Opoku, aimed at discrediting the accomplishments of the incumbent Member of Parliament, Hon. James Gyake Quayson.
The leaked tape, which has sparked widespread controversy, unveils a plot to falsely claim ownership of the achievements attributed to Hon. Quayson and orchestrate a campaign to tarnish his reputation, ultimately making him unpopular among constituents.
In the audio recording shared by an X user, purportedly features conversations among key members of the NPP campaign team, strategies are discussed on how to undermine the credibility of Hon. Quayson and overshadow his contributions to the development of the Assin North constituency.
Among the tactics outlined in the leaked tape include spreading misinformation about Hon. Quayson’s initiatives, fabricating negative narratives to portray him in a bad light, and strategically promoting the NPP candidate as the sole champion of progress in the region.
In 2023, James Gyakye Quayson, representing the National Democratic Congress, secured victory in the Assin North constituency, retaining the seat for the NDC.
Mr Quayson achieved success with 17,245 votes, constituting 57.56% of the total ballots cast, surpassing his main contender, Charles Opoku of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who garnered 12,630 votes, equivalent to 42.15% of the vote share.
