The incumbent Member of Parliament for the Hohoe constituency in the Volta Region, John Peter Amewu is confident his constituents would endorse his candidature and give him another term in office at the December polls.
He is hopeful the NPP will increase its votes to 67%, as against the 55.2% recorded in the 2020 election.
Mr Amewu said this while addressing thousands of NPP faithful who escorted him to file his nomination forms in Hohoe.
“In the last election, I had about 55.26%. In this particular election, we can't take all the votes, we will give the NDC a portion. So, I am not expecting less than 67%”, he said.
He promised to continue his development agenda for the constituency, expressing his commitment to ensuring every household feels the impact of his vision for his constituents.
“Individually, some people did not benefit from any of the initiatives under my development agenda. I told you that it is not everybody who will benefit during the first four years.
“Some people will have their share in the morning, others in the afternoon, and the rest in the evening. Today in Hohoe, we have gone beyond development, so [now] it is our personal development. So I am pleading with you, 2024, JP for round two, Bawumia for round one”, he stressed.
Mr Amewu said that he hopes to change the narrative of Hohoe in the next four years, during his second term in office.
“Today, Hohoe, Hohoe is small London, in the next four years, Hohoe will be New York. I am not going to disappoint any of you. So, in the next four years, it is round two for JP”, he stressed.
Thousands of residents from across the Hohoe Constituency accompanied Mr Amewu to submit his nomination forms, together with some government appointees, NPP constituency and regional executives.
They chanted songs composed with the name of the incumbent MP, as they went through the streets in a jubilant mood to the Electoral Commission office.
John Peter Amewu toppled the NDC off the Hohoe seat after 28 years of occupancy, winning the 2020 parliamentary elections with 26,952 votes against the NDC’s Prof Margaret Kweku’s 21,821.
