Nii Noi Nortey may find it difficult to regain the trust of the New Patriotic Party (NNP) in the event that his apology and plea for reconciliation is accepted by the party, that’s according to NPP’s Greater Accra Regional Chairman, Ishmael Ashitey.
Speaking on Eyewitness News, Ishmael Ashitey, said Mr. Nortey may struggle to reach the heights he did before his fall out with the party. “When you do such a thing, you lose trust and now for the party to trust you to give you a sensitive position, it is going to be very difficult… for people to agree that he will hold an executive position, I think that will be a very difficult thing to do.”
Mr. Nortey, a former Klottey Korle constituency chairman, contested and lost the Klottey Korle seat as an independent candidate in the 2016 polls after losing a contentious primary to Philip Addison.
After his loss in the primary, his supporters, incensed with the circumstances leading to the defeat, impressed on him to contest as an independent candidate, even though the national leadership pledged to calm tensions there and present a united front for the 20176 parliamentary elections.
Mr. Nortey, in his attempt to the bury the hatchet, has revealed that NPP stalwarts like the former President John Kufour, now-President Nana Akufo-Addo and now-vice President Mahamadu Bawumia spoke to him personally to back down but he refused.
But now that Mr. Nortey wants a return to the party after an apology in the media to President Akufo-Addo, among others, Mr. Ashitey said, “if really he wants to come back, he would have to write to the party and then we will forward it to the disciplinary committee which will look at it and then advise the steering committee to take a decision.”
“What that means is that, you have sacked yourselves from the party. You are no longer a member and for that matter, he would have to write and apply to become a member. He would have to go through a very long process.”
Mr. Ashitey did not present Mr. Nortey’s situation as hopeless, noting that, “It is serious; but it does not mean that there is nothing that can be done about it. Maybe something can be done” he noted.

I know our leaders will forgive him and bring him back. There is no way Papa Kuffuor,Nana Addo or Dr Bawumiah wouldn't accept him,but the point is he toiled in vain,he worked hard to be a constituency Chairman being a young guy with such a bright future he should have listened to wise advise. Now Nii No has to be at the bottom and start all over again due to bad advise he listened from friends and sycophants. This will be a lesson to others that a journey of 1000 miles starts with a step and patience,don't rush to regret later. I feel sorry for him because if he had listened to them,he would have been rewarded but nothing is late he can show his unflinching loyalty and with his hardwork as before can still move on top. Good luck to him.
Will he have apologise to come to rejoin the party, had NPP lost the elections?
Nii Noi was adviced not to leave the NPP and run as independent but because of GREED he thought he would win the seat at OSU ; Nii NOi should understand that politics is a very dirty game and that PATIENCE IS THE KEY TO SUCCCESS; Nana Addo stood three times before he became the President ; GODS TIME IS THE BEST !!!!!!;had the idiotic donkey Nii Noi listened to wise advice he would have been rewarded by Nana Addo ; today he is begging to be accpted into the party again ; VERY DIFFICULT because NPP detest disloyalty.
Nii Noi, Nana Addo will accept you into our fold again. This is not the first time this has happened. Do not stress. We need everyone on board!! Welcome home!!
Allan Cash stepped down for Nana Addo to go in 2008 when he could have gone for the second round with Nana Addo. In all the other instances Allan Cash never 'break-away' as independent candidate. He supported Nana publicly hence his ministerial position. Wreko Brobbey is just a dead horse in the NPP. This Nii Noi boy is just not wise and full of arrogance and pride. The party dares not bring him on board else we will fight for the party's DISINTEGRATION. Love & Work with me in time of need not when I'm doing well.
Even Allan Cash and Tarzan were welcome. Why not this prodigal son. Allan and Tarzan were given something. this man is only asking for a comeback.
People should learn to trust God and realize that God is the one who determines our life. Don't force yourself into something. Even if you had won the seat, it would have been less useful because Nana would have abandoned you all the same. Nii Noi should have accepted to drop quietly and give everything to God. Now you have killed your political future and carrier. What a pity!
Such members with such mind-set should NOT be entertained in the party. He thought he is punishing Addison. If he has heard the pleads from BIG people in the party, NPP would have won the seat. Because NDC won with small margin. If He should be admitted into the Party, he should NEVER be given any position. He should NEVER be TRUSTED.
Well truth is something can be done but when you have persons who are old enough to be your father speaks to you and you deemed it Stu pidly and now you want same persons to listen to you. Well did you listen to them when they spoke to you? The truth the prodigal son was forgiven but lost his birth right as the first son, so oboy you don finish your career okay! The only way out now is to support Lawyer Addison to get that seat to the party then may you will be considered. My kindly advice to you Ataa Nii Noi.
