Joseph Addo, the personal driver of President Nana Akufo-Addo has officially entered the race for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primary in La Dade-Kotopon constituency.

Mr Addo, who has served as the president’s driver for over 20 years, after being vetted and approved by the party’s Greater Accra Elections Committee, expressed confidence in his candidacy.

“I was born and bred here in La, I have lived all my life here so I am not new in this constituency. I have helped the youth in this area get jobs in government agencies.

“Recently, when the party needed an office space after the destruction of the old office, I personally worked to get a new office for the party,” he said.

Addo’s nomination comes in the wake of the unexpected resignation of the previously elected candidate, Dr. Gerald Joseph Tetteh, prompting a need for the primary.

Meanwhile, Solomon Kotey Niikio, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the area, has also submitted his nomination for the primary.

The primary has been scheduled for April 27, 2024.
