The incumbent MP may have taken this decision after failing at all attempts to get Zanetor Rawlings as the NDC's nominee reversed.

Posters of Nii Armah Ashietey, incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for the Klottey Korle constituency who failed in his bid to seek re-nomination from the NDC as he was beaten by Dr Zanetor Rawlings, daughter of former President Jerry Rawlings at the primary in November 2015 has emerged.

Nii Ashietey since November 2015 has been challenging the legality of the selection of Dr Zanetor as the parliamentary nominee for Klottey Korle.

When the case came up for hearing, the Supreme Court struck it out after counsel for Nii Ashietey, Gary Nimako prayed the court that he wants to withdraw and review the application.

Ashitey's lawyers argue that Zanetor was not a registered voter at the time she won the NDC nomination.
