I will not contest Buem by-election – Kofi Adams

The General Secretary, Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketia, said Mr Adams did could not enjoy the rights as a party member since the disciplinary committee was yet to determine the matter.

Reports suggested that the aide to party Founder and ex-President Jerry John Rawlings, might contest the February 26, 2013 by-election as an independent candidate.

Speaking, however, on Joy FM’s Newsfile programme last Saturday, Mr Adams categorically stated that he would not run as an independent candidate in the by-election.

He said the party took the decision not to allow him to contest the by-election and he would respect that decision.

“I believe the right time will come for me to represent the party in the Buem Constituency,” Mr Adams said.
