The Independent Parliamentary candidate for the Klottey Korle constituency, Nii Noi Nortey has dismissed reports of a possible alliance between him and his former Party’s Presidential candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

Some posters have popped up depicting a collaboration between him and NPP’s Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

Mr. Nortey broke away from the NPP after losing the party’s parliamentary primary in a re-run to Philip Addison after he had earlier won the primary to lead the NPP in that constituency.

But a statement issued by the Independent parliamentary candidate asked his supporters to ignore reports of a collaboration between him and any other political party flagbearer.

“It has come to the notice of the office of Honourable Nii Noi Nortey that some people suspected to be our opponents have gone around and circulating posters of Honourable Nii Noi Nortey, the independent candidate of Klottey Korley constituency together with the presidential candidates of the various political parties; NPP, NDC, PPP, PNC and CPP.

“We believe this activities are aimed at tarnishing the hard won reputation of Honourable Nii Noi Nortey.

“Please take note that this is not coming from Nii Noi Nortey nor our campaign office.

“Indeed we will work with any presidential candidate elected to lead Ghana in the next four years but we want to state unequivocally that we are an independent candidate with much support base across the political divide and as such DO NOT attach ourselves to any presidential candidate of any political party. Those behind it should stop.”
