Philip Addison Loses Korle Klottey NPP Primary
Former constituency chairman of the NPP at Korle
Klottey in the Greater Accra region Nii Noi Nortey
has been elected parliamentary candidate for the
party for the 2016 elections.

He polled 393 votes beating his main contender
Philip Addison who secured 22 votes and Adjei
Tawiah who obtained 19.

The Saturday election was dogged with challenges.

Earlier, supporters of the various candidates
earlier clashed at the headquarters over the
timing of the poll.

While supporters of the former constituency
chairperson Nii Noi Nortey insisted the election
can take place today as directed by the national
executives, those of Philip Addison and Nii Adjei
Tawiah said today was inappropriate.

The two rival supporter groups invaded the
headquarters of the party in Asylum-down.

Mr. Addison who was lawyer for the party during
2012 election petition case had said the election
was being rushed through by the party executives.

Primaries for the Korle Klottey and Okaikoi South
parliamentary seats were scheduled for today
Sunday August 2, 2015 following the resolution of
the issues that stalled them.
