One of the defeated New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary aspirants in the Klottey Korle constituency, Nii Adjei Tawiah has announced his intentions to get the party\u2019s leadership to re-run the election which saw<\/span> Nii Noi Nortey emerged winner<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”3ym3ZJuM8VmSDWLZRKdiRrU7MxgPmk3M”]The NPP members in the area went to the polls last Sunday amidst controversies.<\/p>\n

Nii Adjei Tawiah and another aspirant, lawyer Philip Addion<\/span> boycotted the election<\/a><\/strong><\/span> citing “lack of transparency in the processes.”<\/p>\n

They further contend that the party\u2019s General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong “rushed” the primaries despite several concerns.<\/p>\n

Prior to the election, a court dismissed an injunction brought before it over claims that Nii Noi Nortey presented a fake University of Ghana certificate when he appeared before the NPP\u2019s vetting committee.<\/p>\n

Nii Adjei Tawiah had earlier accused the NPP\u2019s General Secretary, Kwabena Agyapong of \u201cmanipulating the election to favour one of the candidates.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking on Eyewitness News<\/strong> on Monday, Nii Adjei Tawiah insisted that he will petition the leadership\u00a0saying, \u201cif that is what they are telling us then I will do it because I want it to be done properly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want us to fight all over the place. We have to be united to forge forward for the general elections. I don\u2019t have any problem with Nii Nortey, I don\u2019t have any problem with lawyer Philip Addison. If we do this thing that is what will make it easy for us to follow one peson.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I\u2019m happy, if they are saying that we should petition them before they will take a decision, then I will do that because these are genuine concerns we are raising.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a related development, Kwabena Agyepong has rejected claims that he manipulated<\/a><\/strong><\/span> the Klottey Korle primary.<\/p>\n
