NPP elections at Klottey Korle over the weekend has been alleged to be fraudulent and disgraceful. According to the spokesperson of Nii Noi, voting which was scheduled to start at 8:am started around 6:55am as part of a scheme to enable Nana Addo's lawyer to win the elections through ballot stuffing.

In effect, voting started before Nii Noi's polling agents and even journalists got to polling station i. e. NPP headquarters. Moreover, a deceased woman's name was ticked to have voted. The spokesperson lamented that the EC officials gave conflicting figures of total votes cast. As a result of this day-light robbery and blatant electoral fraud on the part of Nana Addo's acting National executives, Phillip Addison is said to have 'won'.

It appears all has not been at all within the constituency.

Nii Noi's polling agents refused to sign the 'pink sheets' and the declaration forms.

According to a reporter on Okay FM morning show on the 29th February, reporters were not allowed anywhere near the voting centre during the elections.

The reporter was escorted to where the voting actually took place only when he insisted that he needs photographs for a headline news.

Even that, nobody responded to any question until he was escorted out after taking the pictures. He observed that the electorates voted without any accreditation,an unusual practice in party elections.

Former spokesperson of Nii Noi expressed shock that Addison who led NPP to the supreme court because of the so called electoral malpractices has committed the same 'crime' he led the NPP to correct.
