\n

President Akufo-Addo\u2019s driver, Joseph Addo, has been elected as the New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) parliamentary candidate for La Dadekotopon.<\/p>\n

He polled 664 votes against his main challenger, Solomon Kotey Niikio, who polled 555.<\/p>\n

The National Executive Committee of the NPP sanctioned a primary in the constituency after the elected parliamentary candidate, Dr. Gerald Joseph Tetteh, resigned for personal reasons.<\/p>\n

Joseph Addo, who has served as President Akufo-Addo\u2019s driver for over 20 years, expressed his intention to contest in the primary after Gerald Tetteh\u2019s resignation.<\/p>\n

Joseph Addo donated an office complex situated on the Ako Adjei Road to the party a few weeks ago<\/p>\n

The donation was said to be timely considering that the party lacked a permanent office complex which forced the executives to operate from a rented apartment.<\/p>\n

Joseph Addo during the donation said the move was to aid the party in its bid to capture power from the NDC in the constituency.<\/p>\n

The NPP lost the La Dadekotopon seat in the 2020 election to the NDC\u2019s Rita Naa Odoley Sowah.<\/p>\n\n
