According to a report by AdomOnline, President Akufo-Addo’s personal driver has submitted his candidacy for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primary in La Dedekotopon.
The candidate, Joseph Addo, has passed the vetting process and has received approval from the Greater Accra Elections Committee.
Mr. Addo is optimistic about reclaiming the seat that was lost to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2020.
According to him, he had contributed to development in the constituency and has impacted many lives.
“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 and employment 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 one,” he added.
The primary follows the resignation of the Now’s elected candidate, Dr Gerald Joseph Tetteh.
Mr Addo has served as the President’s driver for over 20 years.
