The former National Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Anthony Kabo, has stated emphatically that the three petitioners are not in the Supreme Court to contest the validity of the 2012 election results because of Nana Akufo-Addo�s selfish interest. According to him, but for sake of posterity, the Presidential candidate in last December�s elections would not to go through the court process and not because he wants to President at all cost as his political detractors claim. �If it is left to Nana Addo�s personal interest, NPP would not be in court�if is left to Nana Addo�s selfish and personal interest, the three petitioners would not be in court,� he repeated. According to the out-spoken NPP youth leader, there was the need to contest the results �because of the future of this country. How many times did Professor Mills contest before becoming a President? So what prevents Nana Addo from deciding if he has personal and selfish interests in pursuing the matter, what prevents him from going the third time�? Anthony Kabo�s comment on Adom FM comes on the back of claims that Nana Akufo-Addo has high jacked the New Patriotic Party with the court process because he still wants to remain relevant in the scheme of affairs of the party. However, the youth leader disagrees and maintains that the basis for going to court is to get major electoral reforms and for the any mystery surrounding the 2012 elections unraveled. �We want this democracy and the Electoral commission not to be the same for subsequent elections to be conducted, so the truth would be told,� he added.
