President Akufo-Addo’s Driver Elected As NPP’s Parliamentary Candidate For La Dadekotopon

Mr. Joseph Addo, the driver for President Akufo-Addo, has been elected as the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary candidate for La Dadekotopon.

In contrast to Solomon Kotey Niikio, the current Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the aforementioned constituency obtained 555 votes, while Mr. Joseph secured 664 votes.

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.

Joseph Addo, who has served as President Akufo-Addo’s driver for over 20 years, expressed his intention to contest in the primary after Gerald Tetteh’s resignation.

Joseph Addo donated an office complex situated on the Ako Adjei Road to the party a few weeks ago

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.

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.

The NPP lost the La Dadekotopon seat in the 2020 election to the NDC’s Rita Naa Odoley Sowah.
