The Supreme Court has restrained James Gyakye Quayson from holding himself as the Member of Parliament for the Assin North constituency.
Mr. Quayson was restrained in a ruling delivered by the Supreme Court on Wednesday, April 13, 2022.
This decision was taken in a petition brought before the Supreme Court by Michael Ankomah – Nimfa a resident of Assin Bereku in the Central Region.
Mr. Ankomah-Nimfa had earlier secured a judgement at the Cape Coast High Court overturning the election of Mr. Quayson as null and void but the embattled legislator ran to the Court of Appeal to have the decision set aside
In Authority of this Bohyeba Afriyie of plan B Fm interviewed lawyer Bernard Owiredu on Ebanoosen and he revealed that he was expecting supreme courts judgement because the Supreme Court as he expected the explained the constitution and us per Article 94(2) of the 1992 constitution A person shall not be qualified to be a member of parliament if he owes allegiance to a country other than Ghana and Mr Quayson falls victim of That.
He added that the above coated Article is the reason Mr Quayson was dragged to court because he owes Allegiance to Canada but during the several sections at court he still represented his constituency at Parliament and that he was instructed by the cape coast to halt from working as member of parliament.

He concluded that the Supreme Court only explained the constitution as their ruling and laid emphasis on what cape coast court had already judged.
