Accra-based Lawyer and failed Parliamentary aspirant of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Phillip Addison, is suing the party.

Addison, who lost in his bid to become the Party’s candidate in the Klottey Korle constituency in the Greater Accra Region, has filed a suit at the High Court seeking an annulment of the August 2 results, which saw him lose to Valentino Nii Noi.

He is arguing that:

1.There was no accreditation for the purported election on August, 2, 2015.

2.  The voters register used for the conduct of the purported elections on August, 2, 2015, was not the one certified by the Korle Klottey Parliamentary Elections Committee for the conduct of the elections

3. The rules and regulations required the Parliamentary Elections Committee to receive and keep the constituency register until same is submitted to the Electoral Commission. The duly certified register was inspected by all the aspirants and same was kept by the Parliamentary Elections Committee Secretary.

4. This was never made available to the Electoral Commission because the 2nd day of August , 2015, was not the agreed date for the conduct of the polls.

5.  The persons who organised the elections on 2nd August, 2015, procured a totally different voters register for use on that day. This infraction gave opportunity for persons whose names were not on the duly certified voters register, to cast their ballots on 2nd August, 2015.

6. The constituency parliamentary Elections Committee before the holding of Parliamentary primaries, had the duty of displaying the register to aspirants as a fee, in order to ensure a level playing field to aspirants in the parliamentary contest and announcing the dates for elections. This was not done.

7. The date of 8th August, 2015 was not fixed for the Klottey Korle primaries was agreed upon by the PEC together with the Regional Executive Committee, the constituency chairperson and all the aspirants. Nowhere in the rules and regulations governing the conduct of the parliamentary primaries is the General Secretary of 1st defendant empowered to, suo motu. Fix dates for the election of a parliamentary candidate.
