Stakeholders in the Akuapem North Constituency have vowed to expose Lawyer Phillip Addison in his attempt to destroy the peace and development of the constituency, as he sponsors eight disgruntled members of the party to go to court over a decision of the National Executive Committee.
 
The former unsuccessful parliamentary candidate in the 2016 parliamentary elections in the Korle Klottey Constituency is alleged to have teamed up with a section of his supporters to send the NPP to court, a move that seeks to annul the decision of the Vetting and Appeals committee of the NPP and to prevent the duly elected parliamentary candidate from contesting.
 
It must be recalled that before the 2016 elections, it is alleged Addison used similar style of politics to cause disaffection and estrangement for the party in the Korle Klottey Constituency which led to the NPP losing woefully to the NDC.
 
To prevent similar fate, leading stakeholders in the Akuapem North Constituency have vowed not to allow lawyer Addison to have his way this time around.
 
The stakeholders have unanimously vowed not to allow lawyer Addison to bring such incoherent action on the development of the constituency, which has since time immemorial seen a peaceful political environment.
 
In a bid to relaunch his political fortune after a defeat to Zenator Rawlings of the NDC in Korle Klottey, Philip Addison made an audacious switch to the Akuapem North Constituency.
 
He was disqualified from contesting after failing to make the mark during vetting. Addison, however, saw his appeal turned down by the Appeal’s Committee, an affirmation of the previous decision by the Vetting Committee.
 
Unsatisfied by the outcome of both decisions, Philip Addison has through his supporters resorted to the law court.
 
Leading figures in the constituency have thus vowed not to allow what happened in Korle Klottey repeat itself in Akuapem North.
 
According to the stakeholders, they are content with the developmental projects ongoing and will maintain President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the MP for the area, Hon Ama Dokua.
