A poster indicating that the incumbent National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle constituency, Nii Armah Ashietey, may run as an independent candidate in the upcoming general election in December has popped up in the constituency.
This comes days after the Supreme Court cleared the party’s parliamentary nominee for the area, Dr. Zanetor Agyeman Rawlings to contest the seat.
[contextly_sidebar id=”qYbtFWYTa2Otq3pz43rRFKL7Aa8nmNZL”]Nii Armah Ashietey went to court to challenge the eligibility of Dr. Zanetor because she was not a registered voter when she was elected as a nominee.
Mr. Ashietey was thus praying the court to declare her election null and void, an action he insisted was in the party’s interest.
But the court subsequently cleared Zanetor to contest.
The MP has so far not confirmed or denied whether he will indeed contest the upcoming election as an independent candidate.
