I\u2019m not complacent<\/strong><\/p>\nHe said \u201cI\u2019m not complacent with an\u00a0election until the last ballot is counted and you are elected winner, so I have to still keep working hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
He argued that Mr. Addison is entitled to his opinion with such claims but advised him\u00a0“to\u00a0know that, this is politics; he shouldn\u2019t be saying such things because if he thinks that my close confidants are with him, he should look around well, what if we sent them\u00a0to be\u00a0around him? It’s politics so at the end of the day, let\u2019s see what God decides, where the victory goes.\u201d<\/p>\n
On reports that one of the aspirants, Nii Adjei Tawiah had stepped down to support Addison, Nii Noi Nortey said he is not perturbed by such move.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith election, any serious politician will tell you that, you don\u2019t go for 50\/50, we go for the majority.\u201d<\/p>\n
I\u2019m bitter about primary re-run<\/strong><\/p>\nNii Nortey had earlier been elected winner of the primary held in 2015, but the court ordered a re-run after his contenders contested the results in court.\u00a0In that election, he polled 393 votes, while Philip Addison and Nii Adjei Tawiah polled 22 and 19 votes respectively.<\/p>\n
Nii Nortey said although he feels bitter about the issue, he is hopeful he will\u00a0emerge the winner again come February 27.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all feel bitter about it but like I said, victory comes from God; and the Bible tells us hard work pays. The delegates on the ground know what they want, after my victory, the whole party must unite\u00a0in the constituency and work towards victory come November 7,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
