On his authority, the former chairman of the Klottey Korley constituency, Nii Noi was disqualified from representing the NPP in the 2016 parliamentary elections for the benefit of Philip Addison which he woefully lost. And that he [Philip Addison] is facing the same plight.
“Someone who had been a grassroot for the party was disqualified for you.
He [Philip] destroyed Klottey Korley and now he wants to move away from the constituency. It is only in the history of Philip Addison that an NPP presidential aspirant has lost the Klottey Korle seat,” he stated.
Lawyer Philip Addison was disqualified from contesting the Akuapem North seat on the ticket of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Addison, who rose to fame during the 2012 election petition hearing at the Supreme Court, was hoping to unseat incumbent and deputy Minister for Information Nana Ama Dokua Asiamah Adjei.
Addison, who lost the Korle Klottey seat in the Greater Accra region during the 2016 elections, was disqualified from contesting the Akuapem North seat because he “hasn’t nurtured the party at the constituency”.
