Lawyer Philip Addison who is vying for the Akuapem North Parliamentary seat on the ticket of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has urged the public to disregard reports suggesting that he has made some comments after his vetting.
Addison, who rose to fame during the 2012 election petition hearing at the Supreme Court, is hoping to unseat incumbent and deputy Minister for Information Nana Ama Dokua Asiamah Adjei.
Addison, who lost the Korle Klottey seat in the Greater Accra region during the 2016 elections, was told by the vetting committee that he can’t contest the Akuapem North seat because he “hasn’t nurtured the party at the constituency”.
