The Assin North by-election has been scheduked for 27 June 2023 by the Electoral Commission.

The Supreme Court recently ruled that Mr James Gyakye Quayson's election as MP for the constituency in the 2020 general election, was unconstitutional, sine he held a dual-citizenship as of the time of filing to run.
