The Member of Parliament for Hohoe, Thomas Worlanyo Tsekpo, has asserted that residents voted out former MP John Peter Amewu in the 2024 general election because they felt deceived by unfulfilled promises made during his tenure.

Speaking on Citi Eyewitness News on Wednesday, July 9, he described the current state of affairs in Hohoe as “disheartening,” citing poor roads, water challenges, and educational infrastructure that contradict the image previously portrayed by the former MP and the previous government.

According to him, constituents made their decision not based on influence or resources, but on broken commitments from the previous administration.

“They weighed the two candidates. Yes, one may be more powerful than the other. We have all the resources it takes to run and win an election, but the people went deep into the promises that were made in 2020 to them by the former administration and former MP, but I can tell you, they voted based on the unfulfilled promises. They felt scammed.

“The current situation I have met in Hohoe is very disheartening. I am not painting my predecessor black. We have made the people of Ghana believe that all our road networks are okay, the water situation and education are okay, but you can take a trip to Hohoe today, and you will be sad. All the entry roads are in a deplorable state,” he said

He, however, assured that the current administration has initiated measures to address the educational and infrastructure challenges facing the constituency.
