Campaign posters of the MP as an independent candidate for the upcoming polls emerged on Monday and were seen in several parts of the constituency.

The incumbent Member of Parliament for the Klottey Korle constituency, Nii Armah Ashitey, has denied reports that he is considering to contest this year’s parliamentary elections in the area on an independent ticket.

But Kester Nana Korankye, spokesperson for Hon. Armah Ashietey has said Nii Armah Ashietey knows nothing about the posters.

“The posters are not coming from us and even they are substandard; very low quality which has distorted the image of Nii Armah Ashietey, we’ll not do anything like this from our end. We don’t know if these posters are to antagonize or ridicule him,” he told Accra-based Kasapa FM.

He explained that Nii Armah Ashietey will never take such a measure as he is focused on fighting his case in court.

Zanetor’s candidacy has been challenged by incumbent Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle, Nii Armah Ashitey, whom she beat to the party’s ticket for the November 2016 parliamentary poll.

According to Nii Armah Ashietey, Zanetor is not a registered voter and thus her election must be declared null and void.

She, however, became a registered voter after she registered with the Electoral Commission in the recent limited voter registration exercise.

The Supreme Court subsequently cleared Zanetor to contest.
