It\u2019s possible together. All we need to win the seat is unity,\u201d Mr Nortey said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mr. Addison welcomed the support and expressed his appreciation for the backing.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z3p7T7oEleY\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The former Greater Accra Regional Director of Communications of the NPP, Alhaji Yusif Fofana, picked up the forms on behalf of the Mr. Addison last week.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that the move was necessary.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIn fact, looking at the pressure coming from the grassroots, we decided even in his absence to pick a form for him and then even file his nominations for him. We have informed him and he\u2019s given us his blessings. We are doing this because we believe he did very well in the 2016 elections. He put up a very good show by polling a lot of votes for both presidential and parliamentary elections. Just so you know, the President won this constituency in the 2016 elections so coming back with him as the incumbent parliamentary candidate will help the cause of the New Patriotic Party,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Philip Addison, who is the brother of the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, represented the NPP in the constituency in the 2016 general elections but lost to the National Democratic Congress\u2019 (NDC) Dr Zanetor Rawlings as the NPP\u2019s polled votes were shared between himself and his contender who stood as an independent candidate, Nii Noi Nortey.<\/p>\n<p>So far, three candidates, including Philip Addison, have picked up nomination forms in the hope of being selected to represent the NPP in the Klottey Korley Constituency.<\/p>\n<p>Questioned about Lawyer Addison\u2019s ability to emerge overall winner and to oust the incumbent MP, Dr Zanetor Rawlings, Alhaji Fofana stated that the lawyer would definitely succeed this time around.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThis is a battle that we are going to, but this is family war so it\u2019s going to be on a lighter note because the more you destroy your other aspirants, it\u2019s like washing our dirty linen in public\u2026We don\u2019t see it as a serious thing about life and death. We think it\u2019s about who is well placed to win the seat for us. And I believe even they themselves know Philip Addison stands tall because when it comes to politics, when it comes to involvement in the activities of the party, he has been there all the time, compared to my other brothers who are also coming to contest the seat. So he\u2019s well known, he\u2019s well placed and we know with him as our candidate, we can win the seat,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philip Addison, the runner-up during the Klottey Korle parliamentary election in 2016, and his quest to re-contest the seat has received a massive boost with the support of Nii Noi Nortey, the former New Patriotic Party (NPP) chairman of the constituency.
