John Peter Amewu, MP-elect for Hohoe constituency
The elected Member of Parliament (MP) for the Hohoe constituency, John Peter Amewu, responded to the court order obtained by some residents of the Guan district who were not allowed to participate in the recently concluded elections.
A High Court of Ho in the Volta region has issued an injunction on the parliamentary results of the recently concluded elections in the Hohoe constituency.
The court order follows an ex parte request submitted by lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata on behalf of some people who come from the SALL areas of Santrokofi, Akpafu, Likpe and Lolobi in Guan district for not being able to participate in the parliamentary elections on 7 September. December.
The plaintiffs’ attorneys in court argued that preventing people from the four traditional areas from participating in the Hohoe parliamentary elections was a violation of their fundamental rights.
The attorneys therefore prayed to the court to restrict the EC from publishing the results of the Hohoe parliament while demanding action to enforce their fundamental right, specifically their right to vote.
The request also sought to prevent the Election Commission from presenting John Peter Amewu as the elected representative of the town of Hohoe while seeking to prevent him from running for office as a Member of Parliament for the Hohoe constituency.
But reacting to a post she shared on Facebook, the Energy Minister indicated that he is the chosen one, stating that no matter what happens, he is the people’s choice.
He said “John-peter Amewu; The people’s choice. #Historical victory! #The chosen one “.
