Citi News<\/strong>‘ Franklin Badu Junior reported that over 200 delegates did not turn up to vote.<\/p>\n

Addison and Nii Tawiah earlier boycotted the election<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, saying the party had been unfair to them by taking a decision to hold the election today [Sunday].<\/p>\n

Mr Addison and his supporters were at the NPP headquarters to protest as the election process begun in the constituency.<\/p>\n

He subsequently in an interview with Citi News\u2019 Franklin Badu Jnr declared: \u201cI am boycotting the election because it\u2019s a sham. There is lack of transparency so there is no confidence in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

He has been facing a stiff challenge from his major opponent, Nii Nortey who resigned as the constituency chairman a few months ahead of the election to contest.<\/p>\n
