The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia has asserted that his party would recapture the Hohoe Constituency seat in the December 7th parliamentary elections.
According to him, the electorates have identified that the New Patriotic Party failed to fulfil the promises that lured them to vote for their parliamentary candidate, John Peter Amewu, and hence would return to the NDC.
Mr Nketia said this when he kicked off his campaign tour of the Volta Region in the Hohoe Constituency.
“Hohoe is coming back to the NDC and NDC is going to move Hohoe to the next level“, he said.
He said that the governing New Patriotic Party engaged in a political gimmick promising to fix the Eastern Corridor road, knowing very well it is not on their agenda.
“The game changer is the Eastern Corridor roads. When we were doing it, NPP came and blamed us that we were going too slowly. I came here and told you that they are deceiving us, they will never complete that road. Today eight years down the line, what work have they done on the road?” he quizzed.
He alleged that the Eastern Corridor road witnessing little development under the Akufo-Addo was orchestrated to suppress development along the stretch.
He, however, reiterated the NDC’s promise to ensure the stretch is constructed to divert commerce to harness development in constituencies on the corridor.
“I can assure you, when NDC comes back to power with Efo Worlanyo in the lead, the road will be completed. And the distance from Tema Harbour to the north will be shorter by 100 kilometres.
And so all the traffic from Niger, Benin everywhere will pass here”, he stressed.
The Hohoe NDC Parliamentary Candidate, Worlanyo Taekpo entreated the electorates to vote for him as their next Member of Parliament.
The NDC lost the Hohoe parliamentary seat to the NPP in 2020 where John Peter Amewu beat Prof. Magaret Kwaku with about 5,000 votes.
It was the only seat the NPP won out of the 18 in the Volta Region.
