The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has scheduled its Parliamentary Primary for the La Dadekotopon Constituency to take place on Saturday, April 27.
Among the candidates vying for the primary are Joseph Addo, who serves as the personal driver of President Akufo-Addo, and Solomon Kotey Niikio, the current Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the area.
The primary was necessitated by the resignation of the elected Parliamentary Candidate, Dr. Joseph Gerald Tetteh Nyanyofio, citing personal reasons.
The National Executive Committee of the NPP approved the decision to hold the primary to select a new candidate.
In the 2020 election, the NPP lost the La Dadekotopon seat to Rita Naa Odoley Sowah of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). The NPP is determined to reclaim the seat in the upcoming December polls.
