Zanetor Rawlings<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate for the constituency during the 2016 general elections.<\/p>\nMany political observers concluded that the NPP’s defeat was largely caused by a divided front in the constituency.<\/p>\n
Mr. Addison, who was one f the lead lawyers when the NPP challenged the ooutcome of the 2012 presidential elections in the Supreme Court, defeated Nii Noi Nortey in the NPP\u2019s parliamentary primary held prior to the 2016 general elections in a rather controversial manner.<\/p>\n
Unhappy with some issues that rocked the primary, Nii Nortey left the party and contested as an independent candidate in the constituency.<\/p>\n
Both men could not get the majority votes to represent the constituency in Parliament, thus giving the NDC\u2019s Zanetor Rawlings, daughter of former President Rawlings a resounding victory.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Citi News<\/strong> ahead of the NPP\u2019s constituency primaries on Saturday, Mr. Addison urged members of the party in the constituency to remain calm and desist from acts that could undermine party unity.<\/p>\n\u201cI think the NPP is now united; you will see that in the last elections we won the presidential and lost the parliament. I think that of all the constituencies along the coast, we should have done a double,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
