NPP MP scammed Hohoe residents – Worlanyo Tsekpo reveals

The Member of Parliament for Hohoe, Thomas Worlanyo Tsekpo, says residents in the constituency voted out former MP John Peter Amewu in the 2024 general election because they felt let down by promises that were never fulfilled during his time in office.

Speaking on Citi Eyewitness News on Wednesday, July 9, Tsekpo described the current conditions in Hohoe as “disheartening,” pointing to poor roads, water problems, and inadequate educational facilities that do not match the image previously presented by the former MP and the government he served under.

According to him, the people did not vote based on power or campaign resources, but rather on their own experiences with what had been promised to them.

“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.”

Tsekpo said the reality on the ground paints a very different picture from what was often portrayed by the previous MP and government.

“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 also assured residents that the current administration has begun taking steps to address the challenges, particularly in the areas of education and infrastructure.
