The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Volta Region has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of attempting to impose an outsider on the people of Hohoe to represent them in parliament.
Pope Yao Yevoo, the Volta Regional Secretary of the NPP, claimed that the NDC’s candidate, Worlanyo Tsekpo, who was born and raised in the Bono Region, has no connection to Hohoe and therefore is not qualified to hold a parliamentary position in the constituency.
Yevoo made these statements at the acclamation of John Peter Amewu in Gbi Atabu, where he raised concerns about the NDC’s choice of candidate for the Hohoe Constituency.
He expressed his disapproval of the NDC’s attempt to exchange a candidate with little knowledge and no contribution to the development of Hohoe with the people’s preferred choice, John Peter Amewu.
Yevoo cautioned the electorates against supporting a candidate who lacks relevant knowledge about the constituency and cannot address its essential needs.
“Our brother Worlanyo cannot boast of any contribution to the development of the constituency, not even Alavanyo, so he cannot come and lead you, he does not have the capabilities,” Yevoo stressed.
It is important to note that the NPP won the Hohoe parliamentary seat from the NDC in 2020, and the party has been working to build and solidify its base in the region.
