Joseph Addo defeated Solomon Kotey Niikio, who received 555 votes, to become the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary candidate for La Dadekotopon.
The NPP National Executive Committee approved the primary after Dr. Gerald Joseph Tetteh, the previously chosen parliamentary candidate, resigned for personal reasons.
After serving as President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s driver for more than 20 years, Addo’s candidacy gained popularity.
He announced his intention to run in the primary after Dr. Tetteh resigned.
Notably, Addo recently donated an office complex on Ako Adjei Road, which was a big gesture to the party.
He secured 664 votes, surpassing his main rival, Solomon Kotey Niikio, who garnered 555 votes.
