John Peter Amewu, MP-elect for Hohoe Constituency

ShareShareShareShareShare

The validity of the Member of Parliament Elect for Hohoe Constituency, John Peter Amewu, in the Volta Region has been challenged by the residents of Santrokofi, Akpafu, Lolobi and Likpe {SALL), citing constitutional breaches by the Jean Mensah led Electoral Commission (EC).

According to the Petitioners, the EC decision to exclude the four Electoral Areas from the Parliamentary election is unconstitutional and therefore the elections held on December 7, 2020 which Peter Amewu was elected as MP for Hohoe should be annulled.

The Petition signed by two residents, Paul Dzamboe and Godfred Osei and addressed to the Electoral Commission want the Parliamentary election held on December 7 in Hohoe Constituency without SALL be annulled.

Parliament will no longer be a house of rubber stamp – Bagbin delares

South Dayi Mp responds to Afenyo-Markin’s claim of an NPP Majority in Parliament

The two SALL Residents want, “ the  Electoral Commission of Ghana conducts a fresh election in Hohoe Constituency to include all the 30 electoral areas or in the alternative, the EC must take immediate steps to create the new Hohoe Constituency and Guan Constituency and conduct Parliamentary election in the two constituencies before January 7, 2021.|

Further, the Petitioners demanded,” that the Chairpersons of the Electoral Commission, the two deputies and other members of the Commission must resign for gross incompetence.”

That as a result of the creation of Oti Region and subsequent creation of Guan District (Santrokofi, Akpafu, Lolobi and Likpe SALL), the Electoral Commission of Ghana gave a directive that the people of Santrokofi, Akpafu, Lolobi and Likpe (SALL) should not vote in the parliamentary election in the Hohoe Constituency on December 7.

FULL PETITION TO EC

PETITION CHALLENGING THE VALIDITY OF THE ELECTION OF JOHN PETER AMEWU AS MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT OF HOHOE CONSTITUENCY ON 7TH DECEMBER, 2020

TO EC, ACCRA

1. We are concerned citizens of Hohoe Constituency and voters in the Hohoe Constituency. That we believe that our laws especially law of Ghana must be respected at all times.

2. That we want to draw your attention to what happened on 6th and 7th day December, 2020 in Hohoe Constituency. We hold the view what happened was ultra vires, unlawful and unconstitutional.

3. That Hohoe Constituency which used to be Hohoe North is creature of a statute and has electoral areas in Gbi, Alavanyo, Fodome, Wli, Gbledi Santrokofi, Akpafu, Lolobi and Likpe  traditional areas.

4. That as a result of the creation of Oti Region and subsequent creation of Guan District (Santrokofi, Akpafu, Lolobi and Likpe SALL), the Electoral Commission of Ghana gave a directive that the people of Santrokofi, Akpafu, Lolobi and Likpe (SALL) should not vote in the parliamentary election in the Hohoe Constituency on December 7.

5. That lo and behold, the people of SALL were not allowed to vote in the Parliamentary Election in Hohoe Constituency which they are by law part of.

6. That we want to state here that your directive is unlawful and not backed any law.

7. That we want to repeat that Hohoe Constituency is a creature of statute and not created by mere words or directive of the Electoral Commission.

8.  That Hohoe Constituency by law has 30 electoral areas  which  are as follows: Ahado, Tseivi/Adabraka, Tokoni/Trevi, Tokonu/Blave, Gbi – Bla, Gbi – Abansi, Gbi  – Kpeme, Gbi – Wegbe, Kledzo/Atabu, Alavanyo Kpeme, Alavanyo Abehenease, Alavakpo Wududi, Agome/Dzogbedze, Akpafu – Odomi, Akpafu Mempeasem, Akpafu – Todzi, Adokor/Sokpo, Santrokofi – Gbordome, Santrokofi – Benua, Lolobi  Kumasi, Lolobi Hunyeasem, Likpe Mate, Likpe Bala, Likpe Bakwa, Likpe Agbozume/Koforidua, Abrani/Kukurantumi, Fodome – Helu, Fodome – Amele, Wli – Afegame and Gbledi/Chebi.

9. That by the directive of the EC on the eve of the December 7 general elections dated 6th day of December, 2020, the Electoral Commission has impliedly and effectively reviewed the boundaries of Hohoe Constituency without parliamentary approval or any law backing it.

10. That per EC’s directive on 6th December, 2020, the new Hohoe Constituency now has 17 electoral areas comprising:  Ahado, Tseivi/Adabraka, Tokoni/Trevi, Tokonu/Blave, Gbi – Bla, Gbi – Abansi, Gbi  – Kpeme, Gbi – Wegbe, Kledzo/Atabu, Alavanyo Kpeme, Alavanyo Abehenease, Alavakpo Wududi, Agome/Dzogbedze, Fodome – Helu, Fodome – Amele, Wli – Afegame and Gbledi/Chebi.

11. That the Electoral Commission though independent had no power or authority to review the boundaries of Hohoe Constituency with a stroke of pen or by words.

12. That the so – called new Hohoe Constituency without  Akpafu – Odomi, Akpafu Mempeasem, Akpafu – Todzi, Adokor/Sokpo, Santrokofi – Gbordome, Santrokofi – Benua, Lolobi  Kumasi, Lolobi Hunyeasem, Likpe Mate, Likpe Bala, Likpe Bakwa, Likpe Agbozume/Koforidua, Abrani/Kukurantumi (SALL) is unlawful and unconstitutional as it does not even exist in the first place.

13. That whatever election happened in Hohoe Constituency on December 7 to elect John Peter Amewu is null and void and of no effect.

14. That since there is no law backing the so – called new Hohoe Constituency; we hold the view that John Peter Amewu is not validly elected as Member of Parliament for Hohoe Constituency.

16. Wherefore, we pray for the following:

i. That the parliamentary election held on December 7 in Hohoe Constituency without SALL be annulled.

ii. That the Electoral Commission of Ghana conducts a fresh election in Hohoe Constituency to include all the 30 electoral areas or in the alternative, the EC must take immediate steps to create the new Hohoe Constituency and Guan Constituency and conduct parliamentary election in the two constituencies before January 7, 2021.

iii. That Chairpersons of the Electoral Commission, the two deputies and other members of the Commission must resign for gross incompetence.

2. Godfred Osei
