The incumbent National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle constituency, Nii Armah Ashietey is likely to contest the parliamentary elections as an independent candidate after his posters popped up on Monday.
The former Greater Accra regional minister who lost the parliamentary primaries to Dr. Zanetor Rawlings went to court to challenge Dr. Rawlings’ eligibility, claiming that she was not a registered voter when she was elected as a nominee.
He prayed the court to declare her election null and void but the Supreme Court cleared Dr. Rawlings to contest the seat in the upcoming December elections.
Hon. Ashietey who has been in Parliament since 2009 is, however, yet to confirm or deny whether he will contest the December polls as an independent candidate.
